364 Mr, Smith's Discoveries in Geology. [May, 



and kept rooms for the express purpose of displaying these 

 specimens in the real order and succession in which they occur 

 in the earth, and giving the freest access to them gratis, and to 

 his maps 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, 

 through several years ; next in Charing Cross Street, London; and 

 since 1804, for many subsequent years, in Buckingham Street, 

 Strand, at Mr. Smith's present residence ; until this collection 

 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. 



15. Having, in August, 1815, published (at Mr. John Cary's, 

 181, Strand) his large coloured map of the strata, in 15 sheets, 

 on a scale of five miles to an inch, accompanied by a " Memoir." 



16. Having since published (at ditto) " A Geological Table of 

 British Organized Fossils," &c. containing a great many useful 

 and interesting particulars, on a single sheet. 



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

 den," on a long sheet. 



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

 of the two intended parts of the " Stratigraphical 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 pre- 

 cise 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 

 ■umber of the individual shells, &c. 1155; of which an alphabetical list is given 

 fu the Phil. Mag. vol.1, p. 271.
