166 Historical Notes on the 



Alps proper), and the other containing the whole Province, geologi- 

 cally coloured, of which a great deal was, of course, only sketched in. 

 These maps were accompanied by 138 sections on 24 large sheets. The 

 public collections, which were arranged in three large rooms in the 

 Government Buildings, consisted of 7837 specimens, of which 4312 

 were collected by me during the progress of the Geological Survey, 

 and the remaining 3575 specimens were obtained from foreign coun- 

 tries, the whole forming a good nucleus for a Public Museum.
