Altogether the collection numbers over 10,000 specimens, 
there being, according to a calculation by Dr. Henry Wood¬ 
ward, 9,365 selected specimens in the cabinets. 
Next, taking account of the collection in chronological order,

1. In the Precambrian rocks an interesting example of 
Eozoonal Marble from County Donegal. 
2. In the Cambrian and Siliman rocks a general series of 
968 specimens, amongst which the Trilobites from the Tremadoc 
rocks, and the Trilobites, Crinoids, and Brachiopods from the

were arranged in the cabinets at Eichmond, besides which there
