Abstract
A notebook containing catalog lists by Edward Hitchcock. The first list, "Catalogue of Mineral Specimens as finally arranged in the Government Collection February 1840" lists numbered mineral specimens and the location where they were found. These specimens were collected for his geological survey of Massachusetts. Numbering begins at 1551 and ends at 2510. A second list titled "Catalogue of Specimens for the Government put up in Bottles" begins on the thirty-sixth page and lists the specimen type and the location where it was found. Numbering begins at 1 and ends at 227. The final page includes an additional list of nine specimens numbered 601 to 609, but it is unclear what this list is for.
