REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR HJI4 49 



county, N. Y. A very appreciable percentage of the present in- 

 stallation of the New York State collection is representative of this 

 material. 



11 The Hodge collection. This collection was purchased in 1909 

 from Mr R. S. Hodge of Antwerp, N. Y. It represents the min- 

 eral specimens collected by Mr Hodge from the Sterling mine at 

 Antwerp during the many years in which he was superintendent 

 of that mine, and is consequently unquestionably the best repre- 

 sentation of the minerals of this famous and unique locality. 



12 The Young collection. The collection of the late Dr Silas 

 Young of Warwick, N. Y., was purchased in 1914 from Miss Jennie 

 Young of Warwick. The Young collection represents the life efforts 

 of an enthusiastic, accomplished and industrious collector working 

 in the rich field of Orange county, N. Y., and northern New Jersey. 

 The extra local material of the collection also bears witness of the 

 keen appreciation of mineral values which Doctor Young exercised 

 in effecting exchanges.
