The above list of species and varieties comprehends in numbef 

 more minerals than one-half of all that Scotland affords, ac^ 

 cording to Professor Jameson's t^ible of geognostic relations 

 (Vol. ni. p. 277). The filth to which they had been exposed^ 

 and the little care which had been taken in package, were 

 equally calculated to deprive them of their peculiarities, and in 

 several the characters were only to be detected by careful and 

 minute investigation. I cannot help being surprised, that such 

 an ill assorted collection should have been made by a mineralo- 

 gist of Mr. Gieseke's character, and wonder v/liat object he 

 could have had in view, by loading it with the quantity of useless 

 rubbish which I had to throv/ out. The numl)er of mhierals^ 

 however, which I have been enabled to pick from among it, is 

 sufficient proof of the country in which they were found being 

 one of the m.ost interesting nature : for details respecting it we 

 must wait the arrival of the collector, for which I have no 

 doubt every mineralogist, as well as myself^ will look with: 

 some degree of impatience.
