In continuation of our note in the last number on the distress in 

 Cornwall we desire to call attention to the fact that geologists and 

 mineralogists have now an opportunity of helping a good cause 

 and at the same time of acquiring collections of Cornish rocks and 

 minerals on very favourable terms. Arrangements have been 

 made for the sale on behalf of the Fund of collections of local 

 rocks and minerals, mainly collected by the miners themselves. 

 Three different sets are on the market, namely, (l) Cornish rocks 

 (these are mainly illustrative of the granites, their modifications 

 and metamorphism), (2) Lizard rocks, and (3) Cornish minerals. 

 The specimens are selected, named, and labelled under the super- 

 vision of Mr. E. H. Davison, which is a sufficient guarantee of 

 authenticity and accuracy, and the prices of the collections are 

 very moderate. We would urge all private collectors and curators 

 of museums who do not already possess complete sets of Cornish 

 rocks to avail themselves of this opportunity. All communications 

 should be addressed to Mr, E. H. Davison, B.Sc, F.G.S., School of 

 Metalliferous Mining, Camborne, Cornwall.
