 the old specific name GaTwio^ioicfei; and he has heen enabled to 

 add to the new genus a second species, H. ellipticum, found by Dr

3. Farther account of indications of Changes in the relative 

 Levels of the Sea and Land. By James Smith, Esq. of 

 Jordanhill. 



The new localities in which the author has found alluvial depo- 

 sits containing marine remains, occur on both sides of the river 

 Clyde, in Loch Ryan, in the island of Skye, and on the east and 

 west coast of Ireland. Near Glasgow, and in the county of Lime- 

 rick, sea-shells were found about 80 feet above the level of high 

 water. In the vicinity of Dublin the marine deposit was upwards 

 of 200 feet above the sea. Mr Smith considers that indications of 

 this change of level will be found on every part of the coasts of the 

 British islands. The deposit belongs to the newer pliocene of 

 Lyell. The shells, of which about seventy different species have 

 been collected, agree in general with those now existing in the 

 British seas. There are, however, some of them which appear to 

 have become extinct, or at least are not known upon our coasts.
