20 Forty-first Annual Report on the 



In connection with this work on the quarry industry, a small 

 collection of rocks, typical of the beds worked, has been made. 

 It will serve a useful purpose in showing the varieties of rock 

 which are employed for building and which are quarried in our 

 State. 



Besides these specimens, which are of cabinet size, blocks of 

 stone have been obtained from some of the quarry districts for 

 the building stone collection of the Museum. Reference to the 

 appendix will show what additions have been made to this collection. 



Applications for collections of minerals and fossils from schools 

 and academies have been more numerous than in previous years, 

 and this fact expresses in a positive manner the usefulness of the 

 State Museum as an educator in remote parts of the State, and 

 also the increased attention paid to the study of the natural 

 sciences. 



The following institutions and individuals have received collec- 

 tions aggregating about 2,500 specimens :
