each stratum, as shown in his Map; and particularly of thff 

 organic remains, found imbedded in each of these several Strata. 

 Having rented and kept Rooms for the express purpose of dis- 

 playing these Specimens, in the real order and succession in which 

 they occur in the Earth, and given the freest access to them 

 gratis, and to his 7nap of the strata and sections, by all persons 

 who applied ; as great numbers did, and occupied much of Mr. 

 Smith's time in thus explaining them. 



At first, this Collection was shown in Trim street, Bath, 

 througli several years ; next in Charing-cross-street, London j 

 and siuce 1804, for many subsequent years, in Buckingham- 

 street, Strand, at Mr. Smith's present residence, until this Col- 

 lection was in June 1816, removed to the British Museum, and 

 there arranged by Mr. Smith, in a similar manner and order, for 

 the free use of the public. 



- 15th. Having, in August 1815, published (at Mr. John Gary's, 

 181, Strand) his large coloured Map of the Strata, in fifteen 

 sheets, on a scale of five miles to an inch ; and a " Memoir," of 

 fifty-one quarto pages which accompanied it. 



IGth. Having since published (at ditto) "A Geological Talle 

 of British organized Fossils," &c. containing a great many use- 

 ful and interesting particulars, on a single sheet. 



Also (at ditto) " A Geological Section, from London to Snow- 

 don," on a long sheet. 



And (at Mr. Evan Williams's, No. 11, in the Strand), one out 

 of the two intended parts of the " Siratigraphical System," in 

 which more than 700 species of Shells and other organic remains, 

 which Mr. S. has arranged in the British Museum, are each to 

 be named, and scientifically described; with references to the 

 precise diflferent Places, at which the several individuals of each 

 species were dug *, and the particular Stratum (with reference 

 to the Map and Section) which it there occupied. 



Also (at Mr. James Sowerby's, No. 2, Mead-place, Lambeth) 

 three out of the seven intended numbers of " British Strata 

 identified, by their imbedded Organic Remains," in which draw- 

 ings are given, and the names of all the most characteristic Shells, 

 Corals, &c. of each Stratum. 



London, Dec. 1, 1817. 



* These Places, as enumerated in this first part, are 263 in number; and 

 the number of the individual Shells, &c. 1155; of which an alphabetical 

 list is given in the Philosopliical Magazine, vol. L. p. 271.
