Abstract/NotesWillemite is a mineral of comparatively rare occurrence, but it has long been mined in New Jersey as an important, ore of zinc (Zn2Sio4, containing Zn 58.6 %), and it would seem also to be abundant in Rhodesia. In the standard mineralogies of Dana (1892) and Hintze (1889) it is mentioned from only four districts. As there is some confusion in the statement of these few localities, and further as several others have been discovered during recent years, a complete list of localities for this mineral has been compiled from the literature; and some others represented by specimens in the British Museum collection are added, inchding the African occurrences now to be described.
