Extract

The following work is based upon the magnificent collection of rock specimens made by Mr D. Ferguson during the expedition described in the foregoing paper. The number of these specimens is 210; and as many were collected in quadruplicate, it has been found possible to make up sets which have been presented to the British Museum (Natural History), the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, and the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. The most complete set is retained in the Hunterian Museum of the University of Glasgow.
