"Ge Ology, whose collection of marbles, stones, various earths, and old fossils makes him famous;
"Phren Ology, who professes to tell the characters of people by feeling the bumps on their heads;
"Chron Ology, who manufactures nails that are known by the name of dates;
"Conch Ology, who keeps a museum with a vast variety of shells;
"Entom Ology, who has another filled with butterflies and other insects;
"Ichthy Ology, whose taste leads him to make a collection of fish;
"Zo Ology, who has a large garden with all kinds of creatures in it."
"What a very large family it is!" exclaimed Dick, who had begun to think that these Ologies would never come to an end.
"I have not mentioned all," replied Learning. "But all are intimate friends of mine, and I invite them all every year to a feast in my house in London."
"I wonder what you give them to eat!" thought Dick, "and whether these Ologies have all your own taste for paper and ink!" He had a little awe for Mr. Learning, so did not utter the reflection aloud.
