series of the rocks, fossils, and minerals of the districts visited by that 
Survey. But the aid of all is solicited in completing such local collec¬ 
tions as may illustrate the structure of the several districts. Every 
one will be able to contribute something of value. Those permanently 
resident in any locality have infinitely greater advantages and facilities 
for procuring good illustrations of its mineral structure and products 
than any visitor could enjoy, and from such we confidently look for 
much that will prove of great interest and of great value. Every thing 
which can, in any way, tend to illustrate the rocks, the fossils, the 
minerals, or the practical applications of these will prove interesting. 
Regarding the nature and properties of all specimens forwarded, the 
fullest information will be freely afforded, on application to the Curator 
of the Museum. Organic remains will be examined, and, so far as 
possible, carefully named for contributors, and every facility given for 
the investigation of any particular subject or any particular line of 
research connected with Geology. 
The formation of a Library of reference, in connection with the 
Museum, has been sanctioned, and has already made considerable 
progress. Under the proper restrictions, this will be accessible to all 
students of Geology, and others interested in such enquiries. 
(Catalogues of the several departments of the Museum will be issued 
from time to time. Public Officers, and other persons in all parts of 
India, are requested to send contributions. All specimens, carefully 
packed, may be forwarded by the safest and most economical mode of 
conveyance, addressed to
