Every purchasable species of fossil, mineral, or shell may be obtained; as well as the various microscopic fossils, infusorial earths, slices of teeth, wood, marble, &c. The collections formed by Mr. Tennant for the student in Geology, Palæontology, and Mineralogy are admirably calculated to afford that practical acquaintance with specimens, so indispensable to the acquisition of a knowledge of Geology. A series may be obtained, illustrative of the system of instruction suggested in these volumes, and arranged in a sequence corresponding to the order in which the fossils are described. The price of a mahogany cabinet with five trays, containing 200 specimens, illustrative of the elementary works on Geology, is five guineas: cabinets with fewer and less valuable specimens from two to three guineas.
