Scientific Intelligence. — Geology/. 600 



Duffrenoy are among the Pyrenees. Le Roy is still in southern 

 Spain, where he has discovered many interesting facts. Schulz, 

 inspector of mines in Spain, who is at present busy exploring 

 Gallicia and Vallcjo, has it in charge from the Spanish govern- 

 ment to make a geological map of the whole of Spain. If we 

 add to the list of active geologists who have visited that country, 

 the names of Silvertop, Hausmann, Lyell, Cook, &c. we may be 

 allowed to hope, that, ere many years have elapsed, we shall have 

 a map expressive of the general geognostical features of Spain, 

 Pitta de Castro, who returns with the young Queen Donna 

 Maria to Portugal, will describe the geognosy of his native 

 country. 



10. Geology of Gi-eece. — Boblaye and Virlet are publishing 

 rapidly their interesting observations on Greece and Asia Mi- 

 nor. Von Buch is now in Greece, but it is to be regretted 

 that that great observer had not had an opportunity of reading 

 before his departure the fine observations made by these French 

 naturalists. 



NEW PUBLICATIONS. 



1. The Principles of Geology. By Charles Lyell, Esq. F. R. S., 



&c. &c. 8vo. Vol. iii. Pp. 530, Avith numerous Illustrative 

 Plates. John Murray, 1833, 



This, in our opinion, is the most interesting volume of Mr 

 Lyeirs geological work. It is almost entirely occupied with de- 

 tails and views illustrative of the geognosy and geology of the 

 Tertiary Formations.

tell, Esq. F. R. S. &c. &c. 8vo. Pp. 420, with Maps and 



Plates. Longman & Co. 1833. 



This valuable work, already, we doubt not, in the library of 

 all our geologists, treats of the Physical Geography, and next 

 of the geological structure of Sussex, in the following order, 

 viz. 1. Diluvium; J^. Tertiary Formation; 8. Chalk Formation; 

 4. Organic Remains of Upper and Lower Chalk; 5. Chalk 

 Marl, Firestone, Gait or Folkstone Marl, Blue Chalk Marl,' 

 Shanklin or Lower Green Sand ; 6. Tlie Wealden Formation ;
