Michigan geological survey, Houghton. A. C. Lane, stats geolo- 

 gist at Lansing, F. E. Wright at Houghton. 



18,000 specimens: rocks gathered from different parts of the 

 upper peninsula of Michigan by the survey corps, beginning with 

 the administration of the late Charles E. Wright, in 1885, and 

 augmented by the collections of private persons. The specimens 

 previously collected by and under the different state geologists 

 are now, in part, lodged in the University of Michigan at Ann 

 Arbor. The collection of fossil corals made by former state 

 geologist Rominger is at Ann Arbor, as is also considerable 

 material from the lower peninsula collected by the late Dr 

 Alexander Winchell, whose private collections are at Alma 

 college. 



Besides the collection of rocks, the survey possesses a small 

 collection of copper and other ores and minerals from the vicin- 

 ity of Houghton and a considerable number of suites represent- 

 ing deep drill holes in various parts of both peninsulas. These 

 are in part at Lansing and in part at Houghton.
