" The work indicated in the above bill has been completed, and the 
printed impressions delivered at the Geological Rooms. The char- 
acter of the engraving and printing are properly executed, and con- 
form to the requirements of the contract. The quality and kind of 
paper corresponds precisely with that heretofore used, and being the 
same as that charged in last bill. 
(Signed,) "JAMES HALL. 
« Dated, June 28, 1849." 
It may not be unnecessary to add that the above account is for four 
plates of fossils, which are to form part of the second volume of the 
Palaeontology of Professor Hall. The account in question was pre- 
sented to the select committee, (Assembly Document, 1850, No. 9,) 
of 1850, see page 82, and it is again noticed at page 175. The 
variation of two dollars in the former is probably a typographical, 
and certainly an arithmetical error. * 
Believing this account to be in conformity to contract, which al- 
lows : 
For lithograph engravings, $3 per figure; 
For printing the same, $1.50 per hundred; 
For lettering the same, $3.50 per plate; 
For the paper, 25 cents per pound; and further, " No work to be 
paid for until delivered, (to the geologists at the State Geological 
Rooms,) and inspected by the geologists, or one of Ihem," we certi- 
fied the above account to the Comptroller.
