2. Notice of the Publications of Professor Agassi;. — During the 

 recent visit of Professor Agassiz to this country, we had an oppor- 

 tunity of seeing the newest parts of the various important works 

 now in progress by that distinguished and indefatigable natural- 

 ist, and we think it may be useful to our readers to notice the 

 exact state of advancement in which they severally are at present. 



Of his JRccherches sur les Poissons Fossiles the fourteenth part 

 is now ready, and the fifteenth, which will terminate the ori- 

 ginal work, will soon appear. Owing to the abundance and 

 novelty of the materials lately found by Professor Agassiz in 

 Britain, he proposes publishing a supplement. The first part 

 has appeared of the very beautiful "Histoire Naturelle des Poissons 

 d'eau douce de V Europe Ccntralc," containing the Sahno and Thy- 

 mallus ; and the second part is ready, and will be speedily pub- 

 lished, containing descriptions and plates illustrative of the de- 

 velopment of the SalmonidcB. The first of the " Monographies 

 d'Echinodermcs vivans et fossiles ," containing the " Salenies," has 

 been published ; the second, containing the " ScuteUes" and the 

 third, containing the " Gale rites, ," are nearly ready. The first 

 and second parts of the "Description des Echinodcrmes fossiles de 

 la Suisse,,' 1 containing the " Spatangoides," " Clyprastroides," and 

 the " Cidarites" are already before the public ; the third and con- 

 cluding part, containing the " Astcries" and " Crinoides," will ap- 

 pear about the end of 1841. The first part has appeared of the 

 "Etudes Critiques sur les Mollusques fossiles," containing the 

 " Trifjonies." Professor Agassiz has also published a Memoir, ex- 

 planatory of the casts of molluscous animals prepared, under his 

 direction, at Neuchatel.
