          There is within a circuit of some miles and at this place
 a great variety of fossil organic remains & I am collecting 
 them as extensively as possible. We find. Trilobites (Asaphus, 
 & occasionally Calymene), a variety of bivalve & a few 
 univalve shells, &c &c. both in Lime rock & grey wacke. 
 The celebrated locality of Trenton Falls. You are, of course, acquainted 
 with. Would a suit of them be acceptable 
 to yourself, or the Lyceum Nat. [Natural] Hist. [History] N. Y.? and can
 they be named so that I can label my collection from 
 them? They may few of them be of any interest but if
 you wish it you shall have a suit containing 
 specimens of all I find.  A.G. [Asa Gray]
