Mr. Ward has presented me with specimens of the Arkansite, and also with specimens of the Thermalite, and I have recently received from him at two different times, via New Orleans, various other geologicacl specimens of great interest, and also an aqualogical specimen, being a bottle of the water of the Hot Springs, which when taken from the spring was of the temperature of 148° of Farenheit.
