3265. Geological Map of the Arctic Regions. 



C. E, De Ranee, F.G.S. 



The topography is taken from the Chart accompanying the Admiralty corre- 

 spondence connected with the British Arctic Expedition of 1875. The 

 geological boundaries of the Parry Islands, and north coast of America, from 

 the determination by Conybeare, Murchison, Salter, and Dr. Haughton ; of 

 the specimens brought back by the expeditions of Franklin, Parry, Back, 

 John and James Ross, Sabine, Buchan, Beechey, Sherard Osborn, and 

 M'Clintock. Those of West Greenland from the observations of Gieseeke, 

 Nordenskiold, O. Heer, and Dr. Brown. Those of East Greenland and 

 Spitzbergen from the results of the various Austrian, Swedish, and North 

 German expeditions. Those of Hall Basin, and the channels lying north of 

 Smith's Sound, from the labours of Drs. Kane and Bessels, which prove that 

 the upper Silurian rocks, noticeable along the southern fringe of the Arctic 

 Archipelago, reappear in this tract, the Lower Carboniferous Coal-bearing 

 Sandstones, and overlying Carboniferous Limestones, lying in a basin. 



3266. Maps, illustrative of theories of relative directions of 

 lodes, joints, mountain chains, coast lines, limits of geological 

 formations and rivers. Jos. P. O'Reilly, Dublin. 



Map of Europe (geographical) ; two base lines, viz., Algerian coast and 

 Syrian coast lines. 



Map of Spain (Francisco Cuillo's geographical) ; base line taken from the 

 map of Europe. (Compare with de Verneuil's map for correspondence of 

 geographical and geological lines of direction.) 



Alpine Club Map of Switzerland ; two base lines from globe, east coast 

 of Sardinia and south-east coast of Red Sea. 



Jukes's geological map of Ireland ; base line, eastern coast of Adriatic. 



The base lines are portions of great circles having the directions of, and 

 passing along, the coast lines indicated, and have been transferred from the 

 globe. 



3267. Model of the Cleveland Hills and district shoeing the 

 outcrop of the main seam of Ironstone. 



John Bell, Saltburn-by- Sea. 



3268. Geological Maps and Model of New Zealand. 



1. Copy of the first geological map of the whole of New Zealand, 

 prepared by Dr. Hector, and exhibited at the New Zealand Exhi- 

 bition in 1865. This map was engraved by the Geological De- 

 partment and published in 1 869. 



2. Geological sketch-map of New Zealand constructed from 

 the official surveys of the Geological Department by James 

 Hector, C.M.G., M.D., F.R.S., &c., director of the Governmental 

 Geological Surveys, Wellington, 1873. 



3. Relief- model of New Zealand on same scale as the Geological 

 map (2), and with a vertical scale four times as great as that of the 

 horizontal. This model is placed beside the geological map to 

 illustrate the forms of the surface of the parts of country occupied 

 by the different geological formations. Modelled by Dr. Hector, 

 31st March 3876. James Hector, C.M.G., M.D., F.R.S.
