Download or read book Guide to the Collections of Rocks and Fossils written by A. M. Henry and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Collections of Rocks and Fossils: Belonging to the Geological Survey of Ireland, Arranged in Room III. E. Of the Museum of Science and Art, Dublin Besides a large series of rock-specimens, there is also an important collection of Irish fossils arranged in strati-graphical order. These specimens, as well as the rocks, have been almost entirely collected by the Geological Survey, and are still continually receiving additions. They were originally named by J. W. Salter and W. H. Baily. They comprise also a portion of the famous Port-lock Collection, the rest of which, including the type-specimens, is preserved in the Museum of Practical Geology in London. In the preparation of this Handbook, Mr. McHenry's great local knowledge of Ireland and of Irish geology has been of use on every page. Having chief charge of the fossil collections, he has superintended the labelling, naming, and retableting of the specimens, and has furnished the list of organic remains which were used in drawing up the Palaeontological part of this volume. A large number of the rock-specimens in the old series having been collected by him, he has been able to furnish important information regarding them, and the geology of the districts from which they were obtained. The actual writing of the Handbook has been assigned to Mr. Watts. In addition to the copious materials supplied to him by Mr. McHenry, he has himself furnished many original details regarding the Petrography. He has been under the necessity of carefully analysing the previous literature of Irish geology. Every possible source of information open to him has been made use of, but in a book of this description it is neither possible nor desirable to load the pages with references to authors. It must suffice to make here a general acknowledgment of indebtedness. No fresh work on Irish geology can appear without an expression of special gratitude to three great observers - Griffith, Portlock, and Jukes - whose labours as admirable pioneers and leaders so largely aided the advance of geological science in their time.
