TENTH ROOM. 
BRITISH ORYCTOGNOSTIC COLLECTION. 
This room contains the rudiments of a collec¬ 
tion of British simple mineral substances. In a 
series of table cases are deposited the minerals of 
the first seven counties of England, in alphabetical 
succession, from Bedfordshire to Devonshire inclu¬ 
sive. The names of the counties are on the upper 
part of these table cases, the contents of which are 
disposed, by longitudinal and parallel divisions, into 
four classes, viz. Earths, Metals, Inflammable Sub¬ 
stances, and Salts. These divisions (as soon as 
convenient room shall be obtained) are to be con¬ 
tinued, in the same direction, through the whole 
series of table cases, so that it may be ascertained 
at one view, if any and which of the substances be¬ 
longing to those classes, are to be met with in any 
given part of Great Britain.
