Rockland, 465 
Orange, 3,029 
7,631 specimens. 
About one-third of this number has been collected for the geologists 
of the different districts, and mineralogist, so as to give to each a suite 
to illustrate the geology of the first district, leaving about 5,088 speci- 
mens, which are deposited in the State cases in the Geological Rooms 
of the first geological district. These cases are in the room over the 
State Library, (Miscellaneous Library.) They are all labelled and ar- 
ranged in eight distinct sets. One of these sets is displayed in the glass 
show cases, while the seven duplicate sets are contained in seven hori- 
zontal layers of drawers, and placed in the same relative order of posi- 
tion as those in the show cases above. 
The manuscript geological notes of my surveys in the form of a dia- 
ry, are bound into nine duodecimo volumes of 400 to 700 pages each, 
each of which has a table of contents, and an alphabetical index to faci- 
litate reference. 
I have made topographical maps of Columbia and Dutchess counties, 
and partly completed the drawings of those of Putnam, Westchester, 
Rockland and Orange. Topographical maps had been published of the 
counties of Suffolk, Queens, Kings, Richmond and New- York, which 
rendered this labor for those counties unnecessary. Numerous local 
maps, diagrams, sections, &c. &c. are contained in the volumes of the 
diary. 
^ The specimens from the island of New-York have not been received and placed in the ca= 
ses, but it is supposed that there are about 400. Feb. 4, 1839. The New- York specimens arsr 
ftow in the cases. W. Horton.
