 mations and localities of a collection of fossils purchased of John Geb- 

 hard jr, iu 1872. Those marked PicTcett collection were purchased of 

 Mr Pickett, late of Rochester, aud those marked Simma collection were 

 purchased of Jeptha Simms, late of Fort Plain. These have all been

 with a printed ticket bearing the name of the original owner. Other 

 numbers, to 847 inclusive, record various miscellaneous collections which, 

 had accumulated iu the state cabinet previous to 1866.
