GEOLOGY. 
THE geological interests of the Bermudas are peculiar, and 
by no means inconsiderable, as they belong to the class of 
“Formations now in progress.” They, like the Bahamas, 
are plainly Coral formations below low-water mark, and 
Molian above it. The vital powers which produce the 
former, and the mechanical action of the wind to which 
the latter are referable, being still in action. Hence, with 
two possible exceptions, no traces of the remains of even 
locally extinct animals or plants have yet been discovered, 
or can reasonably be expected. Some years ago, a very 
valuable Paper on the Geology of the Bermudas, appeared 
in the Transactions of the Geological Society of London.
