CONTENTS OF CULVER HALL.

Culver Hall has 1. The Hall Collection of Minerals, worth $5,000 by
estimate when presented to the College about forty years since. 2.
Minerals and rocks collected since, of no great value. 3. Minerals,

structure, surface geology, distribution of fauna, distribution of
trees, areas occupied by forests in 1874, hydrographic basins,
isothermal lines, amount of annual rainfall, distribution of soils and
the topography by means of contour lines. There is a large model or

feet long, with the town boundaries, names of villages, rivers, ponds,
railroads, and mountains inserted in their proper places; other
