	Sandstones have always been favourite materials with the architect, and an extensive variety of specimens is therefore exhibited. Special description is however unnecessary, since every specimen is distinctly labelled, not only with the locality, but in most cases with the names of the buildings in which it is employed; thus rendering the collection highly instructive. This remark equally applies to the other building stones in the Museum.

	Among the sandstones are exhibited several specimens of ''Millstone Grit. ''This is the name given to a series of sandstones interposed, in certain districts, between the Carboniferous Limestone and the Coal Measures. In the north of England, where the grit is typically developed, it occurs as a coarse sandstone, in which the quartz frequently appears as large pebbles, sometimes even reaching the size of an egg. From the position of the millstone grit, immediately beneath the true coal-bearing rocks, it is not inappropriately called by the miners in some of our south-western coal fields, the "Farewell Rock."== Limestones ==		Among the sandstones are exhibited several specimens of ''Millstone Grit.
