  The 
  Keokuk 
  Limstone 
  is 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  Crinoidea 
  of 
  

  

  Crawfordsville, 
  Indiana, 
  of 
  which 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  box 
  not 
  

   opened. 
  The 
  specimens 
  were 
  represented 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Pickett 
  

   and 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Elwood 
  as 
  consisting 
  largely 
  of 
  crinoids 
  col- 
  

   lected 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Pickett 
  himself; 
  judging 
  from 
  other 
  parts 
  

   of 
  the 
  collection 
  made 
  by 
  him, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  inferred 
  that 
  the 
  

   specimens 
  are 
  good. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  some 
  representatives 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  divisions 
  of 
  

   the 
  carboniferous 
  rocks, 
  and 
  among 
  them 
  a 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  

   Spurgeon 
  Hill 
  fossils. 
  

  

  11. 
  The 
  Coal 
  Measures 
  are 
  represented 
  in 
  a 
  good 
  collection 
  of 
  

  

  fossils 
  from 
  the 
  shales 
  of 
  Danville, 
  Illinois. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  also 
  two 
  large 
  boxes 
  which 
  were 
  not 
  examined, 
  

   but 
  which 
  were 
  said 
  to 
  contain 
  good 
  cabinet 
  specimens. 
  

  

  Besides 
  those 
  enumerated, 
  there 
  are 
  many 
  large 
  slabs 
  and 
  

  

  polished 
  blocks 
  of 
  different 
  rocks, 
  showing 
  the 
  condition 
  of 
  

  

  the 
  corals, 
  crinoids, 
  etc. 
  

  

  A 
  small 
  collection 
  of 
  European 
  Jurassic 
  and 
  Cretaceous 
  fossils. 
  

  

  Minerals. 
  — 
  The 
  Collection 
  contains 
  some 
  minerals, 
  mostly 
  

  

  from 
  Lockport, 
  N. 
  Y. 
  and 
  from 
  New 
  England. 
  

  

  Fresh-water 
  Shells. 
  — 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  considerable 
  collection 
  of 
  

   Uniones, 
  Anoclons, 
  etc., 
  but 
  mostly 
  in 
  a 
  poor 
  condition. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  them 
  will 
  be 
  useful. 
  

  

  Radiata. 
  — 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  pretty 
  large 
  collection 
  of 
  Starfishes 
  

   and 
  other 
  Echinoderms 
  in 
  a 
  good 
  condition. 
  These 
  had 
  

   been 
  obtained 
  mostly 
  from 
  Prof. 
  Agassiz 
  in 
  exchange 
  for 
  

   fossils. 
  The 
  specimens 
  have 
  labels 
  with 
  them 
  and 
  have 
  

   been 
  apparently 
  carefully 
  kept 
  as 
  they 
  were 
  received. 
  

  

  This 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  collection 
  will 
  supply 
  a 
  want 
  in 
  the 
  

   Museum, 
  since, 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  had 
  occasion 
  to 
  state, 
  we 
  had 
  pre- 
  

   viously 
  but 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  Starfishes 
  and 
  one 
  Echinus 
  in 
  the 
  

   State 
  Collection 
  to 
  represent 
  this 
  large 
  class 
  of 
  organisms. 
  

   Mr. 
  Pickett 
  at 
  first 
  desired 
  to 
  stipulate 
  that 
  this 
  collection 
  

   should 
  remain 
  separate, 
  as 
  " 
  The 
  Pickett 
  Collection" 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  

   Museum 
  ; 
  but 
  when 
  the 
  impracticability 
  of 
  such 
  a 
  plan 
  was 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  to 
  him, 
  he 
  became 
  willing 
  to 
  have 
  it 
  incorporated 
  in 
  the 
  

   general 
  collections 
  of 
  the 
  Museum, 
  provided 
  that 
  a 
  catalogue 
  of 
  

   its 
  contents 
  should 
  be 
  published 
  in 
  some 
  future 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  

   State 
  Cabinet. 
  — 
  The 
  collection 
  was 
  received 
  in 
  good 
  order 
  at 
  

   the 
  State 
  Cabinet 
  in 
  November.
