18,000 specimens: rocks gathered from different parts of the 

 upper peninsula of Michigan by the survey corps, beginning with 

 the administration of the late Charles E. Wright, in 1885, and 

 augmented by the collections of private persons. The specimens 

 previously collected by and under the different state geologists 

 are novr, in part, lodged in the University of Michigan at Ann

 college. 



Besides the collection of rocks, the survey possesses a small 

 collection of copper and other ores and minerals from the vicin-

 ing deep drill holes in various parts of both peninsulas. These 

 are in part at Lansing and in part at Houghton.
