GEOLOGICAL COLLECTION. 269 



20th. Some specimens from Hungary, which 

 made part of a rich collection of minerals pre- 

 sented to the Museum by the Emperor of Austria : 

 interspersed with these are a hundred beautiful 

 specimens from the same country, the recent gift 

 of professor Zipser of Neusohl. 



2ist. Various rocks, formerly collected by Oli- 

 vier on the shores of the Bosphorus and the Gre- 

 cian Archipelago. 



22d. Several numerous and instructive series 

 brought from Sicily, the Lipari and Pumice isles, 

 from Naples, the environs of Rome, Padua, the 

 Vicentine and Veronese, by M. Lucas. To these are 

 added a number of large specimens from the same 

 countries, given by Dolomieu and Spallanzani. 



23d. Several polished specimens from Pied- 

 mont, given by count Daru. 



24th. A magnificent series of primitive and 

 transition rocks from Corsica. All the specimens 

 are polished, and rival each other in richness and 

 variety of colours. 



We will not quit this geographical collection 

 of rocks without remarking, how desirable it is 

 to give it a greater extent. We hope to attain 

 this object, when we recollect the zeal and libe- 

 rality of the numerous individuals who now cul- 

 tivate the study of geology even in the most dis- 

 tant countries.
