I. The rubies of Burma and associated minerals—their mode of occurrence, origin and metamorphoses. A contribution to the history of corundum

Abstract

This memoir embodies the results of a series of investigations which were initiated by the Right Hon. Viscount Cross, sometime H. M. Secretary of State for India, shortly after the annexation of Burma by the British Government. The researches were undertaken with a view to the determination of the value of the celebrated ruby mines of that country, and of the conditions under which the gem is found.
