published in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, afford ample 

 proofs of the light that may be thrown on Fossil Botany, by 

 the examination of internal structure. Professor Lindley and 

 Mr Hutton are following out the same view. In the three num- 

 bers of their interesting work now before us, there are, besides 

 figures and descriptions of external form, also sections represent- 

 ing internal arrangement. — Professor Lindley displays his usual 

 acuteness in the determination of the species ; the portion of 

 geology the numbers contain is creditable to Mr Hutton ; and 

 the artist has in general done his work accurately and distinctly. 

 On a future occasion we may offer some remarks on Professor 

 Lindley 's descriptions, particularly of those species found around 

 Edinburgh, of which Mr Witham, with his usual liberality, 

 communicated not only specimens, but also drawings.

We have much pleasure in again recommending to the atten- 

 tion of geologists this interesting work, of which the present /7ar/, 

 completing vol. i., will be found not less valuable than those 

 which have preceded it. The Provincial Geological Societies in 

 other parts of the island, would do well to imitate the example 

 set by their northern brethren of Newcastle.
