The data on the mineralogy and the history of the exploration of Kukisvumchorr apatite deposit in Khibiny Mountains have been summarized in this issue. Kukisvumchorr deposit is actively operated since 1929 by Kirovskii Mine, the first mine at Kola Peninsula. A complex of alkaline pegmatites and hydrothermalites of the Kukisvumchorr stands out even against a background of mineralogically unique Khibiny massif. It is real reserve of rare minerals; many of them occur here as nice large crystals. All 212 present-day known mineral species and more than 20 pegmatites have been described, 111 color plates, 110 b/w photos, 125 crystal drawings, geological schemes and pegmatite sections are given. The issue contains 312 chemical analyses of 165 minerals and 163 references.
