respect the granular differs from the schistose part of the 
rock. The whole mass seems originally formed in a hori; 
zontal position, aud while soft to have been forced into un- 
dulations: the grau-wacke is merely bent ; but the schistus, 
being crystallized in perpendicular plates capable of sliding 
on each other, has accommodated itself to the situation de- 
scribed above, . 
Part of the north side of Charnwood Forest appears to 
be one side of a large wave, ranging with its strata of 
schistus not far from east and west ; but whether the sum- 
mit and southern declivity are to be found, I know not, 
Westmoreland and the south of Scotland afford examples 
of this stratification ; but the best I have observed are at 
Brayhead near Dublin, the schistus rocks at Cork, and the 
mountains between that place and Killarney, the directions 
of their waves and laminz of the schistose part being uni- 
formly about N 70° E. 
The south-east boundary of the Grampian mountains 
has the argillaceous schistus parallel to its stratification, 
and to the adjacent micaceous strata, in a direction nearly 
WN 55° E; but that this parallelism is uniformly the case 
with primary schistus, and distinguishes it from secondary 
or transition rocks, I am not prepared to consider as cor- 
rect, though inclined to entertain such opinion.

Tus extensive works going on at Corfu by order of the 
French Government have led to the discovery of various in- 
teresting articles. 
ft had been long since known that an ancient city was 
situated in that part of the island which extends between 
one of its old harbours and the sea at the foot of the smali 
hill St.Pantaleon. It is here we find the temple of Palea- 
polis (the ancient city) changed into a church, as is an- 
nounced by an inscription on the cornice of the gateway. 
Hitherto, however, we have had no precise ideas of its ex- 
tent, topography, or name. 
The remains of ancient aqueducts, the great quantity of 
ruins, inscriptions, and ancient columns, along the sea- 
coast to the point of Aperama, far from the position of 
Paleapolis, induce a belief that the city extended that length
