NEW YORK STAT E MUSEUM 



sity of the City of New York, and four specimens representing 

 the upper and middle Washington limestones from Washington 

 (Pa.), by Prof. Edwin Linton of Washington and Jefferson college, 

 Washington (Pa.). In addition to the above, Mr Xevius has com- 

 pleted the mounting of the large fossil plant collected at Monroe, 

 Orange co. (X. Y.) during the previous year. 



In June of the present year Mr Nevius resigned his position as 

 assistant curator to accept an appointment with the San Carlos 

 copper co., in Mexico. 



In conclusion the state geologist desires to express his appre- 

 ciation of the unusual courtesy he has experienced from the mem- 

 bers of both houses of the legislature, to whom he has had the 

 honor and privilege of presenting the claims and needs of the 

 geologic work of the state in the matter of financial support, 

 and who have received his statements with an instant apprecia- 

 tion which has given him heart and courage quite as much as did 

 the substantial appropriations made through their good will.
