PEOM THE HUTTON COLLECTION. 23 



Museum to the New Building, the Council of the Mining Insti- 

 tute most generously offered all the Type-specimens that had 

 been figured by Lindley and Hutton, and any others that might 

 be deemed of sufficient interest for scientific purposes, or which 

 might serve to illustrate the Flora of the local Coal-measures, to 

 the Natural History Society, on the single condition that they 

 should be labelled as presented by the Council of the Mining 

 Institute, and arranged and exhibited in the Cabinets of their 

 Museum. These specimens are now arranged in ten of the Floor- 

 cases in the Geological Room of the New Museum. The other 

 portion of the Hutton Collection was presented at the same time 

 to the University of Durham College of Physical Science. Thus 

 the two portions of the collection will be located in Newcastle, 

 and will form not only a classical and a useful collection to future 

 investigators of this extensive Coal-field, but a most valuable 

 repository of Type-specimens of universal interest to Fossil 

 Botanists of the present and future generations, and which can- 

 not fail to be invaluable so long as this science is pursued. 



The following Type-specimens were found in the Hutton 

 Collection on its removal to the Museum of the Natural History 

 Society in 1862, and with one or two exceptions, though obscured 

 with dust, were in a good state of preservation, namely, the 

 Type-specimens of the Plates mentioned below : —
