We notice this work chiefly for the sake of putting on record our defence 

 against an assertion of the Editor respecting Ainsworth's " Notes on the 

 Pyrenees," which appeared in the preceding volume of our Magazine. It 

 seems it has also appeared in the first series of the Edinburgh Journal of 

 Natural and Geographical Science ; but we can assure the editor and the 

 public that this circumstance was totally unknown to us, and that we 

 printed the article from the manuscript of the author sent us in April, 

 1829, and recalled to our mind by Mr. Ainsworth about the same period of 

 the year in 1830. (See Mr /Ainsworth's letter under Retrospective Criti- 

 cism, p. 81.) — Cond.

 done, therefore, an acceptable service to science, by giving iis a modern Flora 

 of'Barbadoes, which will serve 'pretty accurately as an index to the plants 

 of'thfe other islands : knd if he has not added much to our stock of know- 

 Pedge,'Ille seems to have verified with care that which was but indistinctly 

 made out by his predecessors. Of the geology of the island we believe 

 nothing '^as known, an'd tiierefbre the geological description with the

Woodwardy Samuel^ 'Est^:, Hdnorslry Member of the Yorkshire' Philosophi- 

 cal Society : A Synoptical Table of British Organic Remains ; in which 

 all the edited British Fossils are systematically and stratigraphically 

 arranged, in accordance with the Views of the Geologists' of the present 

 Day; and a Reference is given to their Localities, Strata, and engraved 

 Figures. Accompanied by a Lithograph of the Fossil Turtle in the 

 Norfolk and Norwich Museum. London, 1830. 8vo, pp.50. 



^ -^ work, as the author informs us, " undertaken solely with the intent of 

 promoting science;" and, we may assert, well calculated to do so in the 

 department to which.it belongs. The tabular arrangement of Organic 

 Remains we consider as particularly interesting, by showing, in one general 

 view, all the divisions, including orders and tribes, to which the organic 

 remains, hitherto found may be referred. , . .^ ..,.,'. > '■

These Notes will be adverted to when we look over the Transactions, o£ 

 which they form a part. In the mean time we, may observe, that in com- 

 mon with the other papers in the Transactions^ a copy of which is before 

 us, Mr. Hutton's paper affords evidence of great industry and research.
