The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to
exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large
variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show all
the different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and
the formation in which they occur; the collection of fossils, plaster casts,
maps, etc., is exceptionally fine, and fully illustrates historical geology. In
mineralogy the principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits
of specimens, models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals
contains all the important species, and many of the rarer ones, in good
specimens. In addition to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection
to illustrate the geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia,
and this is being increased as rapidly as possible.
