In 1878 he published his firstpapers on minerals and different rocks, including optics and chemical composition. Worthmentioning are the important papers on the optical behaviour of the minerals of the group offeldspars, especially the plagioclase group. Further publications are the crystallographic studieson the mineral danburite and pyrargyrite and the investigations on the "Schlammregen vom14.10.1885 in Klagenfurt".
