■Kith visitors in any way, excepting for the protection of the Museum and ita con 

 tents. 



It is particularly requested, that any irregularity or want of civility may be re- 

 ported at once to the Curator of the Museum. 



The collections being exposed for public benefit, it is confidently hoped that the 

 public will feel the importance of carefully preserving what conduces to their in- 

 struction and advantage, and will therefore aid the Officers of the Museum in tha 

 discharge of their duty. 



Students of Geology, or persons desirous ofinformation on any special point, are 

 requested to apply to the Curator at the Museum on Tuesdays and Saturdays, be- 

 tween the hours of twelve and four. In particular easts, this aid will be afforded 

 at any time ; but as it is essential that the Officers in charge of the Museum should 

 be able to devote much of their attention to the arrangement of the collections, to 

 the examination of specimens, and to the general duties of their Office, it is hoped 

 that the public will aid in these objects by not interrupting them, under ordinary 

 circumstances, at other times than those fixed above. 



Gentlemen interested in^geological pursuits, mine9, &c, in special agricultural 

 objects, or in the use of new or untried building materials, &c, who may desire 

 detailed examination of any mineral substance, or definite information for a spe- 

 cial object, are requested to apply by letter (post paid) addressed to the Director 

 of the Museum of Geology, 1, Hasti?igs' Street, Calcutta, stating as clearly as 

 possible their wishes. All such communications will be attended to at the eailiest 

 possible opportunity, and in the order of their receipt. 



Visitors and others are requested to contribute to the collections every thing 

 which may appear interesting, or locally peculiar. 



The 'servants of the Museum are prohibited, under pain of instant dismissal, 

 from asking for, or receiving, any gratuity whatever, and it is hoped that nona 

 may be offered. 



The Museum will be open from the 1st day of January 1657.
