Museum or cabinet. — The collections made during the prosecution 

 of the field work of the survey were carried to Kaleigh, the head- 

 quarters of the survey, and deposited in a room set apart for that 

 purpose in the capitol building. In addition to these, many other 

 specimens were sent by persons living in different parts of the State, 

 so that toward the close of the survey a large amount of material 

 had been collected. The cabinet thus formed was considered at 

 the time (1858-1860) one of considerable value. It remained in 

 the capitol building until the close of the Civil War, when the 

 remnant was by act of tlie general assembly transferred to the 

 State university at Chapel Hill. During his connection with the 

 survey Doctor Emmons also made a large private collection of min- 

 erals and fossils, which was sold to Williams College, Massachusetts. 



There was no library belonging to the survey. 



Expenses. — ^The funds at the disposal of the survey were expended 

 mainly in the payment of the salaries of the geologist and his 

 assistants and the publication of reports. It included also the 

 preparation and repairs of the room to contain the cabinet of min- 

 erals, and a few other items of less importance. 



The salaries of the geologist and his assistants were fixed by agree- 

 ment between the governor and Professor Emmons. (See p. 370.) 

 Out of these they were re(|uired to bear the expenses of the field work, 

 the analyses of soils, and the outlay for chemicals.* 



The expenditures during the existence of the survey were as fol- 

 lows: For fiscal years ending October 31, from 1852 to 1856, and 

 September 30, 1857 to 1864, inclusive: 1852, $2,875; 1852-53, $5,125; 

 1853-54, $4,763.57; 1854-55. $4,203.27; 1855-56, $5,749.42: 1856-57, 

 $4,000; 1857-58, $6,361.40; 1858-59, $5,458.30; 1859-60, $5,838.59; 

 1860-61, $4,546.67; 1861-62, $4,500; 1862-63, $4,138.88; 1863-64, 

 $1,051.50. 



The total expenditures of the survey during its existence (1852- 

 1864) amounted to $58,611.60. This includes the cost of engraving 

 and printing. 



As noted, the survey was sustained by an annual appropriation of 

 $5,000 from the general treasury of the State, which was continued 

 until otherwise ordered.
