relative to places and things, which is nearly allied to the 

 faculty of judgement, on either side of the perpendicular 

 indenture of the forehead. So much for anatomical coin- 

 cidence. Experience i-> equally convincing. For the fore- 

 head ot all eminent men is strikingly marked with the 

 sinus described, among which none are more remarkable 

 than Sierne, Johnson, and St. Evremond. Besides, it is 

 certain, in all application or study in which the judgement 

 IS principally concerned, there is a contraction of the 

 brows, and the consequence of that contraction will be to 

 deepen the indenture. 



The Lecturer then proceeded to an ingenious expo- 

 sition of the different forms of the eyebrows, stating 

 them to be strong hieroglyphs of the mental charac- 

 ter, and exhibiting drawmgs of them under different 

 gradations, from the elevated stare of astonishment to the 

 arched curve of wit; the irregularly depressed line of 

 sorrow and debility, or the more regular depression of in- 

 tense application. A scale therefore of gradations might 

 be formed, and the knowledge of man as an intellectual 

 being reduced to science.

WERNEBIAN NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY*. 



At a meeting of this society, on the 22d of February, a 

 communication from the Rev, Mr. Fleming of Flisk was 

 read, describing the mineralogical appearances which occur 

 on the north bank of the Frith of Tay, from Dundee up to 

 Kingoodie quarry. The rocks are claystone, claystone 

 porphyry, felspar porphyry, greenstone, sandstone, and 

 amygdaloid. The sandstone occurs in bason-shaped ca- 

 vities in the porphyry, and contains suborriinate beds of 

 greenstone ; but he deferred giving any decided opinion 

 concerning the geognostic relations of these rocks till he 

 should examine the south shore of the Frith of Tay. 



At the same meeting, the Secretary read a conimunica- 

 tiou from Mr. Macgregor, Surgeon to the 23th regiment, giv- 

 ing an account of the mineralogy of the district around the 

 town of Lanark, particularly ai the celebrated falls of Cora 

 IJn and Slonebyres. Near the former, porphyry- slate and 

 fejipar-porphyry occur. At the latter, the waters are 

 jioured over btds of fine-grained sandstone, which, in de- 

 scenduig, gradually becomes coarser in texture, lillit passes 

 into a conglomerate, consisting of masses of quarts, jas-
