Abstract
Pages extracted from the "Catalogue of the Massachusetts State Cabinet," issued by the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, featuring a letter from Edward Hitchcock about the collection in the Massachusetts State Cabinet, its evolution, and the reasoning behind the names given to specimens, as well as the actual catalog of specimens. The catalog lists stratified and unstratified rocks held in the cabinet along with the locations where they were found, organized into more specific categories such as soils, clay, pliocene tertiary, miocene tertiary, Connecticut River Sandstone, metamorphic rocks, and others.
