GROUP I.—MINING, QUARRYING, AND METALLURGY. 
A.—COLLECTION CONTRIBUTED BY THE GEOLOGICAL SURYEY OF 
INDIA, UNDER THE DTRECTION OF DR. OLDHAM. 
The collections illustrating the mineral wealth of the Indian empire have been, with 
very few exceptions, contributed by the Geological Survey of India, or through its inter- 
vention. To those specimens noted in the accompanying list which have been sent by 
others, the names of the senders have been attached. Where these specimens have been 
sent through the Geological Survey, the letters G. S. I. have been added. 
In addition to the specimens here catalogued, a very fine series of the fossils, figured 
and described in the Palseontologia Indien, published by the Geological Survey of India, 
were sent to Yienna, but no sufficient room being available for their exhibition in the 
general building, they have been arranged at the Geological Institute, (K. K. Geologische 
ReichsAnstalt in the Razumoffsky-gasse, Landstrasse) where the Director of the 
Austrian Geological Survey has afforded the opportunity of making them conveniently 
aecessible to geologists, and others interested in such studies. 
Geological maps of various parts of India have also been sent, to show the style in 
which the geological structure of the country is represented, and the scale on which the 
Survey is carried out. The field maps of the Survey are represented by a MS. copy of 
the geological map of the Salt ränge in the Punjab, showing the detailed nature of the 
work in complicated and disturbed districts ; while the maps on the same scale of 
1 mile=l inch of the entire district of Dumoh, with an index map on the smaller scale 
of 1 inch = 4 miles, show the manner in which these are preserved and made available 
for local and other officers. Sheets of the finished maps, as finally published on the “ Atlas 
of India ” maps, are also given, including the country near Trichinopoly, and near Madras. 
The collection also includes a complote series of the publications of the Geological 
Survey, embracing nine volumes, Svo. of the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India ; 
five years issue of the Records of the Survey, and the complete series of the Palceontologia 
Zndica, up to date, containing plates of fossils collected by the Geological Survey, with 
detailed descriptions. 
All the numbers are on small paper labels, of an oval form, attached to the specimens.
