We whose names are underwritten, and who have sigfted 

 the foregoing report, think it but an act of justice on ouf 

 Jjart, to request permission to state to the committee 

 the very great services which have been rendered by the 

 Count de Bournon, during the whole of the inspection 

 jthd valuation of the collection, with which he alone was 

 well acquainted, having principally contributed to form it, 

 and having bedn occupied for several years in arranging it 

 for the late Mr. Greville. Wilh^^ut the able assistance of 

 the Count de Bournon, so justly celebrated for his profound 

 knowledge in mineralogy, *the inspection and valaatiori 

 Vvould have required a very great length of time, and after all 

 would most probably have been less accurately performed. 



We therefore unanimously concur in giving this public 

 testimony to the merits and services of Count de Bournon. 



We also have to make our acknowledgments to Mr. 

 Lowry and Mr. Jonville, who obligingly attended the in- 

 spection at our request, ^nd rendered us much valuable ?^s- 

 sistance.
