240 Mr. R. C. Taylor's Fossils. 



about four thousand five hundred are fossils. Some of the more fragile ter- 

 tiary shells wore injured during the voyage, but the greater part of these are 

 replaced by duplicates brought over for that purpose. As a piece of orna- 

 mental furniture, this cabinet is calculated to tbrm a splendid addition even 

 to the drawing-room of the man of taste. It is constructed of beautiful carv- 

 ed wood, French polished, in three principal divisions; contains eighty-three 

 drawers ; each having external indices, and blocks and trays made to fit ac- 

 curately within; besides possessing the unusual advantage of glass covers to 

 most of the drawers. 



The proprietor was strongly urged by his scientific friends, both American 

 and English, to introduce this collection into the United States. It is chiefly 

 in consideration of the great risk attending its removal to his present resi- 

 dence, west of the Alleghenies, that, after a year's deliberation, he has de- 

 termined to offer it for sale in Philadelphia, whose scientific citizens stand 

 pre-eminent in their attachment to Geological investigation.
