164 Scientific Intelligence. [Fez 
ing facts lately come to my knowledge. The wall of a farm house 
in the immediate neighbourhood of Inverness was widely rent from 
top to bottom by the shock, in which situation it now stands. ‘The 
people on board the dredging barge, moored at the foot of Loch 
Ness, although sensible of no motion in the water, were awakened 
and much alarmed by the rombo, thinking that the vessel had broke 
from her mooring chains ; and the ferrymen, who happened to be 
on the ferry of Kessock at the time of the commotion, distinctly 
felt their boat heaved suddenly and rapidly, as if projected over 
two or three large waves; the night, and the general surface of the 
sea, being in other respects perfectly calm. 
Iam, Sir, your obedient humble servant, 
Tuomas Lauper Dick.

XII. Models of Crystals to accompany Jameson's Mineralogy. 
My mineralogical readers will be gratified to be informed that the 
models of crystals to accompany Mr. Jameson’s Mineralogy are 
now ready for sale, and may be had by applying to the maker, at 
Gee-street, Somer’s Town. 
XIII. Discovery of the Yenite in Situ. 
Mineralogists will be happy to perceive that this hitherto scarce 
mineral is likely to become abundant, by the following extract of a 
letter, for which I am indebted to Mr. Mawe, mineral dealer, in 
the Strand :— 
Rome, Oct, 26. 
On a visit to the Isle of Elba, after much labour and research, I 
found the place where Le Lievre, Councillor of the Board of Mines, 
&c. discovered the yenite, when employed by his Government to 
inspect the mines of that island. 
It was so concealed as to render it improbable that it should again 
be brought into notice. I rejoice at this event, as it breaks the 
monopoly, and will enable me to send specimens, for the advance- 
ment of science, to be sold by a respectable dealer in your metro- 
polis, with a view to enrich my private collection by exchange, if 
possible. 
Your obedient servant,

XIV. Mineralogical Examination of India. 
It must be rather mortifying to mincralogists that the peninsula 
of India, which has supplied the world for so long a period with 
some of the finest productions of the mineral kingdom, and which 
may now in some measure be considered as belonging to the British
