In Geology charts and illustrative material are of a good quality, 
but requiring many additions. The supply of type minerals and 
rocks has been materially increased. A lithological lathe and polariz- 
ing microscope of modern construction as well as over one hundred 
typical rock sections have been secured. Apparatus for applying 
micro-chemical tests is also supplied. 
Although much has been done, there are many wants unsupplied. 
The room is much too limited and two additional appartments could be 
at once employed. The cabinets in all departments need great addi- 
tions to make them adequate for purposes of illustration. To this 
end friends are earnestly solicited to send to the professor in charge 
specimens of any and all natural objects from various parts of the 
state. No animal or stone is so common (if perfect in its way) as to 
be useless. Contributions in money will be carefully expended to the 
same end in securing exotic specimens.
