JAMES HALL. 



I. W. JACKSOK 



I have not been able to examine the collection of Mr. Gebhard 

 above referred to (except as to a few specimens now at the State 

 Museum), but from the above statement of Professors Hall and Jack- 

 son, in whose judgment I have entire confidence, as to the extent 

 and character of the collection, I concur in their conclusion as to its 

 value, and that it should be purchased by the State.
