Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geological and Natural History Survey of Minnesota: The Ninth Annual Report, for the Year 1880
The Specimens here described have been permanently numbered with a brush {with blue Shellac and alcohol, to distinguish them from the serial numbers of the University Museum, which are in red Shellac and alcohol and as they will always remain at the Uni versity for study and comparison, their value will be greatly en hanced if they receive only this incomplete serial description. To this list will be added other numbers, as the work progresses, and finally a set representing the typical rocks will be chosen for exchange with other museums.
