Synopsis
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
The collection of the Geological Survey is displayed in room No. III. East. It is limited to specimens obtained from Ireland, and consists of two parts - one illustrating the typical rocks of the country, the other the fossils contained in them. There are likewise exhibited in the gallery, drawings, photographs, maps, and sections, intended to illustrate the sets of specimens and to give an idea of the scenery, economic products, and geological structure of different parts of the country.
The rock collection is arranged geographically, the products of each of the four Provinces of the country being grouped in close proximity to one another. The cases containing the rocks are the wall-cases along the side of the room, lettered A to G the upright cases placed above the table-cases in the middle of the room, marked with Roman numerals from I. To XXXII. And one table case, XXXIII., at the N. End of the room. Both numbering and lettering run from the south to the north end of the gallery plan, frontispiece.)
