This elegant and accurate volume will, we doubt not, find a place in 

 every conchological library. It is the result of the long-continued in- 

 vestigation of one of the most active and judicious American naturalists, 

 and one too, who enjoys a European celebrity. 



8. Report of the Geological Survey of Connecticut. By Charles Shepard, 

 M.D., pp. 188. Newhaven, United States. 1837. 



Dr Shepard, who joins to an accurate acquaintance with simple mine- 

 rals, much geological knowledge, was employed by the American Go- 

 vernment to survey geologically the State of Connecticut. The results of 

 his labours are contained in this interesting volume, which we find, on 

 careful perusal, to afford much information, equally valuable to the geo- 

 logist and mineralogist.
