THE HUNTERIAN. Presentation at the Hunterian We take it that the GCG Newsletter (vol. 2 p. 412) editor's caption II 'preservation' at the Hunterian", applied to the 'Observer's fulsome Upfront article on the new Geology Department mosaic, was meant to be a wee dig at us for incorporating museum material in that mosaic? At the risk of over-reacting, may we hasten to reassure readers that this material is all either undocumented or unlocalised or, rarely, represents inferior specimens selected from large collections of similar material. Furthermore, incorporating the material in the mosaic for the foyer of the Geology Department is not a form of - disposal (pace Museums Association Code of Practice), but rather an unusual method of display. The context excites closer attention from students and visitors than such specimens would receive if stored in drawers or, dare we say it, in a conventional display. Members will have an opportunity to judge this issue for themselves, and possibly even to discuss the ethics involved, when they attend the Group's meeting on "Geology - for sale", to be held in Glasgow University Geology Department and the Hunterian Museum, on 5 December 1980.
