THE LEWIS BROOKS MUSEUM. 15 



Besides the above named specimens in mineralogy and 

 geology, the collections which were previously in possession 

 of the University' are added to the Department of Geology 

 and Natural History, and will aid in illustrating these sub- 

 jects. There is, in addition, a large collection of the rooks 

 and fossils of Virginia, made by Prof. Wm. B. Rogers, in 

 his survey of the State, which is a valuable supplement to 

 the collections of the Museum. It is proposed to add to this 

 collection from year to year with the purpose of forming a 

 complete illustrative assemblage of all physical resources 

 and natural products of the State.
