He was pleased with the geological specimens sent to him, including gold from Tartary and specimens from Lieutenant Gerard and Mr Scott and Colebrooke has used the notes sent by Gerard to write a paper on the geology of the valley of the Sutlej. He has proposed Lt Gerard and Dr Jack as members of the Geological Society. He thanks Wallich for seeds sent but advises because of the cost to be careful in thinking through which to send.
