No margin notes. Illustrated with map line drawings and 4 photographic plates. Table. Reprinted for the Club from the AMERICAN MINERALOGIST 1919. From the text: "Bergen Hill is about 19 kilometers 12 miles long and 1.6 kilometers 1 mile wide comprising a range of bluffs of Triassic diabase. It commences at Bergen Point and runs behind Jersey City and Hoboken to a point in Weehawken about opposite Thirty-fifth Street in New York City. Here it comes close to the Hudson River and continues north for some 29 kilometers 18 miles to Piermont being known as the Palisades. The Bergen Hill region has long been noted as a locality for zeolites and associated minerals. When the announcement was made that the Erie Railroad Company had begun the construction of an open cut thru the hill local collectors interested in mineralogy looked forward to the collecting of fine specimens. This interest was fully justified from the history of past borings thru Bergen hill. Among the zeolites and related minerals found were: stilbite laumontite gmelinite analcite natrolite apophyllite pectolite and datolite and of common occurrence with these were quartz calcite pyrite chalcopyrite sphalerite and diabantite. While the minerals from the extrusive basalts of West Peterson Great Notch and Upper Montclair are found in cavernous openings amygdules vugs etc. the Bergen Archways minerals were confined to veins. Prehnite heulandite and thomsonite found so abundantly at the former localities were not noted tho Dana lists these minerals from Bergen Hill. A brief description of minerals found by the writer follows." This copy is from the library of scientist and author Robert B. Sosman with his tiny ink stamp.
