LETTER FROM BUCKLAND. 233 



subscribers. You will likewise see a new mine 

 of fossil fishes in the clayey schist of the coal 

 formation at Newhaven, on the banks of the 

 Forth, near Edinburgh. You can also make 



' O 



arrangements to visit the museums of York.

Whitby, Scarborough, and Leeds, as well as 

 the museum of Sir Philip Egerton, on your 

 way to and from Edinburgh. You may, like- 

 wise, visit the museums of London, Cam- 

 bridge, and Oxford; everywhere there are 

 fossil fishes ; and traveling by coach in Eng- 

 land is so rapid, easy, and cheap, that in six 

 weeks or less you can accomplish all that I have 

 proposed. As I seriously hope that you will 

 come to England for the months of August 

 and September, I say nothing at present of any 

 other means of putting into your hands the 

 drawings or specimens of our English fossil 

 fishes. I forgot to mention the very rich col- 

 lection of fossil fishes in the Museum of Mr. 

 Mantell, at Brighton, where, I think, you 

 could take the weekly steam-packet for Rot- 

 terdam as easily as in London, and thus ar- 

 rive in Neuchatel from London in a very few 

 days. . . .
