logical Structure of the country, hitherto conducted by a Committee of the 
Association, may hereafter be continued as a part of the Ordnance Geological 
Survey; and further recommend, that the Committee be authorized to pre- 
sent the drawings and engraved plates already executed to the Mining Record

The Report of Sir John Herschel on the Reduction of Meteorological Ob- 
servations is illustrated by two Plates, exhibiting the barometric undulations 
observed by Mr. Birt in 1842. During November 1843 Mr. Birt again ob- 
served some very interesting waves, and he is desirous of obtaining, during 
next November, as many sections of waves as possible. For this purpose he 
will be most happy to furnish gentlemen (on application, by letter, to him- 
self, Cambridge House Academy, Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green) with 
printed forms and instructions for making the observations, and all observa- 
tions with which he may be favoured will be duly acknowledged and care- 
fully discussed.
