The above are already in sufficient order for convenient reference ; 

 most of the specimens have the localities marked and some of the 

 species are named ; but the whole series requires a farther review, 

 especially with a view to discarding useless specimens and duplicates. 



Europe, Palaeozoic Series. — Fifty-two drawers belonging to this 

 series are already placed in the cabinets ; a few of these had been 

 arranged in excellent order by Mr. Lonsdale, but the rest will require 

 considerable labour to bring them into order, as they are crowded both 

 with specimens of no value and with duplicates to such an extent that 

 the Committee think it useless to oifer a list of them in their present 

 condition. When arranged, this part of the collection will be fully 

 equal in interest to the other series, containing very rich collections 

 from the Silurian formations of Norway, Sweden and Russia, the 

 Devonian beds of the Rhenish Provinces and the Devonian and Car- 

 boniferous formations of Russia, besides minor collections from other 

 countries. 



British North America. — Twenty-seven drawers already arranged 

 in fair order. 



United States. — Forty-six drawers, the arrangement of which has 

 been about half completed. The collection of Palaeozoic Shells, &c. 

 from the Western States and of Coal-Plants from Pennsylvania, &c., 

 are of great interest.
