SrncE the publication of the previous edition of the Catalogue 
the collection of Silurian Fossils has been increased by nearly 
3,000 specimens. To a large extent this is due to the munificent 
gift of the Rev. E. Wyatt-Edgell, whose son, the late Lieutenant 
H. A. Wyatt-Edgell, had during several years and at great 
expense made a collection of nearly 4,000 specimens of British 
Paleozoic Fossils, all of which were presented to this Musenm 
In accordance with an expressed wish, these fossils are dis- 
tinguished by a printed label “ Wyatt-Edgell Collection,’ so 
that they remain as a permanent record of his work. 
This series having now been incorporated with those pre- 
viously in the cases, there is probably no collection of Silurian 
Fossils of any country more complete than that which is ex- 
hibited in the Museum of Practical Geology.
