XLII. Intelligence and Miscellaneous Articles. 
To Mr. Tulloch. 
Sir, Your Magazine for February assures the public 
that Dr. Hutton intends to publish a new edition of his 
Mathematical Dictionary, with the improvements which 
have been superinduced in the science since the period of 
publication of the edition of 1795. May I be allowed, 
through the same medium, for myself and others who 
possess that edition of his work, to express a hope that 
the Doctor will also publish the additional information di- 
stinct, for the perfecting of the copies of that edition which 
has bad so extensive a circulation. I am, sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant, 
Saturday, March 2, 1811. : i Ey,

remains of echini, shells, insécts, crustaceze, fishes, am- 
phibiz, quadrupeds, &c. with twenty-three coloured plates, 
will be published in the middle of June. 
METEORIC STONE IN INDIA. 
A letter from Futty Ghur, in the East Indies, dated 
21st July last, presents us with the following imperfect, 
though curious, account of a phenomenon which has be- 
come frequent in Europe and America of late years: ‘ I 
open this letter to let you know of a very odd circumstance 
which happened a few days ago, viz. A large ball of fire 
fell from the clouds, which has burnt five villages, destroyed 
the crops, and some men and’women. The ball is now 
still to be seen: it is as hard asastone. This happened 
near Shababad, across the Ganges about thirty milcs north- 
ward from this place. I have heard nothing further about 
this, but a vague report.”

Electnicity, by Mr. George Singer, will commence on
