FOR THE MUSEUM. 



A bow and four arrows taken from one of the 



rebels of the Kimedy country. . . W. Gilchrist, Esq. 



A collection of Geological specimens, chiefly 



from the Northern parts of India, being • 



duplicates from the Bengal Society's 



Museum, presented through Dr. Benza, 



by The Asiatic Society of 



Bengal. 



A series of Mineral specimens, one hundred 

 and four in number, illustrative of the 

 Geology of the Neilgherry Hills, by . . . .Dr. Benza. 

 These specimens illustrate ihe very able and interesting paper by 

 Dr. Benza, on the Geology of the Neilgherries, contained in the 

 Bengal Journal of Literature and Science, for August 1835. It is 

 to be regretted, however, that the specimens presented to the Madras 

 Museum, are not numbered according to the references contained in 

 that paper ; a classification which would very much enhance their 

 value, in the eyes of the geological student, who may hereafter wish 

 to refer to them. A member of the society having engaged, in com- 

 munication with Dr. Benza, to arrange the specimens in the order in 

 which they are described in the paper above alluded to, there is no 

 doubt but that this desirable end will be attained.* 

 A collection of Geological specimens from the 



Northern Circars, by <. Dr. Benza. 



The formations in the district whence the above were taken, are 

 described by Dr. Benza in an appendix to the paper cited above.. 

 A number of most beautiful specimens of the 

 Trap formation near Poonah, presented 



by . . . J. G. Malcolmson, Esq. 



* The Neilgherries being located within the limits of our own province, we propose 

 hereafter to give an abstract of Dr. Benza's paper, or to transfer it entire to the pages of 

 our Journal. As the Doctor is again on the Hills, perhaps he may hare something to 

 add to his former observations.—EDiTon.
