8 [ Senate 



The Regents regret that they have not been able to secure copies 

 of all these addresses : those of Prof. Dewey, Pres. Hitchcock 

 and Prof. Davies, are appended to this report. 



The necessary means for the proper exhibition of the collections 

 having been made by the present Legislature, the work will be 

 entered on at the earliest practicable day ; and the Regents con- 

 fidently hope to be able to make such arrangements of the Cabinet 

 as will meet public expectation, and be a just pride to the citizens 

 of the State. 



The condition of the Cabinet requiring but little of the time of 

 the Curator, he was directed to take the field for the purpose of 

 collecting fossils in several of the geological formations which had 

 not been fully explored, ox ip which the collections were deficient. 

 He prosecuted the work with great zeal through the season, and 

 his success has been highly satisfactory. 



A catalogue of the fossils thus collected is appended : also 

 descriptions of pateozoic fossils, chiefly from those constituting 

 the third volume of the Palaeontology of New- York, with others 

 from the fourth volume, by Prof. James Hall. Also a catalogue 

 of miscellaneous contributions made during the year. 

 By Order of the Regents. 



G. Y. LANSING, Chancellor. 

 S. B. WOOLWORTH, Secretary.
