for school collections. Of these school collections there have 

 been sent out during the past year to the 



8pecies. Specimens. 



State formal College, Albany, K Y 436 530 



Manlius Union School, Manlius, K Y 373 442 



Forestville Free Academy, Forestville, N. Y. . 363 429 



Owego Free Academy, Owego, N. Y 409 450 



Port Jervis Union School, Port Jervis, N. Y . . 386 456 



We have received acknowledgment of the reception of these 

 collections from the State Normal College at Albany, and from 

 the Forestville Free Academy. 



At the present time there is in progress of preparation for cata- 

 loguing a collection for the High School at Buffalo, K Y., and 

 another for the Morris Union School. These will contain about 

 365 species and 415 specimens each. As soon as the present 

 reports are out of press and we are relieved from proof reading 

 these collections will be catalogued and forwarded. 



Geologic Map. 



Since there was no appropriation for the geologic map for 

 1894, very little field work has been done. One small area in 

 Oswego county, which had never been properly mapped, has 

 been explored, and another in the south-eastern part of the State, 

 in Orange county, has been explored and mapped ; also, the 

 north-eastern portion of Clinton county, showing the junction of 

 the crystalline rocks with the stratified fossiliferous formations. 

 The results of this work, together with the work of 1893, has 

 already been or will be transferred to the base map immediately ; 

 and through the good-will of the director of the United States 

 Geological Survey we will have some colored maps in hand 

 before the end of January. It must be understood, however, 

 that these maps will not be complete, as there are still consider- 

 able areas on the east of the Hudson river which have not been 

 sufficiently explored to be mapped geologically. There are also 

 some portions in the central part of the State where the relations 

 of the Oneonta sandstone, Portage and Chemung groups have 

 not been determined. The southern limit of the crystalline 

 formations of the Adirondacks on the south and their junction 

 with the stratified rocks was determined in 1893, and has already 

 been transferred to the geographic base.
