The Museum of Geology has been placed in connexion with, and under the 

 same superintendence as the Geological Survey of India. By this means opportu- 

 nities will he afforded of procuring a very perfect series of the rocks, fossils, and 

 minerals of the Districts visited by that Survey. But the aid of all is solicit- 

 ed in completing such local collections as may illustrate the structure of the seve- 

 ral districts. Everyone will be able to contribute something of value. Those 

 permanently resident in any locality have infinitely greater advantages and facili- 

 ties for procuring good illustrations of its mineral structure and products than any 

 visitor could enjoy, and from such we confidently look for much that will prove 

 of great interest and of great value. Every thing which can, in any way, tend to 

 illustrate the rocks, the fossils, tbe minerals, or the practical applications of these 

 will prove interesting. 



Regarding the nature and properties of all specimens forwarded, the fullest in- 

 formation vrill be freely afforded, on application to the Curator of the Museum. 

 Organio remains will be examined, and, so far as possible, carefully named for 

 contributors, and every facility given for the investigation of any particular sub- 

 ject or any particular line of research connected with Geology. 



Tbe formation of a Library of reference, in connection with the Museum, has 

 been sanctioned, and has already made considerable progress, Under proper re- 

 strictions, this will be accessible to all Students of Geology, and others interested 

 in such enquiries. 



Catalogues of the several departments of the Museum will be issued from time 

 to time. Public Officers, and other persons in all parts of India, are requested to 

 Bend contributions. All specimens, carefully packed, may be forwarded by the 

 safest and most economical mode of conveyance, addressed to
