B. — Philosophical instruments — new, nicely adjusted, or for the pur- 

 pose of comparison. 

 C. — Remarkable IMinerals — interesting Geological Sections — Fossils — 

 rare or curious Specimens in any of the branches of Natural 

 History. 

 N.B. The Exhibition will be open to all Members of the Associa- 

 ation and their families, and to all other persons who may have trans- 

 mitted any article considered worthy of a place in the collection. 



Mr. Grainger, to whose liberality the Association is in other re- 

 spects so much indebted, having placed an elegant and spacious room 

 at the disposal of the local Committee for the purposes of the Exhibi- 

 tion ; the objects of interest contained in the following catalogue were 

 arranged in it, and access given to the members of the Association on 

 Tuesday the 21st of August. 



In future^ it would be very desirable to insist on the models, &c. 

 being sent in at least one week before the day of meeting of the As- 

 sociation, that the Exhibition may be opened before the arrival of the 

 strangers. The aid of wood cuts or other illustrations should also be 

 employed in order that the list of articles contained in the Exhibition 

 may be made as much of a catalogue raisonnee as possible. The delays 

 and inconveniences attending the reception and arrangement of the 

 specimens in the present Exhibition have prevented the catalogue from 

 appearing so soon, or in so complete a form, as on future occasions may 

 reasonably be expected.
