Bermuda, have awakened the raptures of the 



Poet- 

 come with me, and we will go, 

 Where the rocks of coral grow. 



THE coasts of Georgia, and North arid South 

 Carolina, produce many species, particularly of 

 the Olives, (Voluta Oliva), of great beauty. 

 From the group of the Bahamas, and the rocks 

 by which they are surrounded, many shells 

 have been gathered, which are similar to those 

 found on the coast of Cuba. From the inte- 

 rior of this island, many rare shells of consi- 

 derable value have been lately brought to Bour- 

 deau by a French vessel. 



OF the testaceous productions of the island 

 of New Orleans, the Mississippi, and the whole 

 of that range, we have obtained but little infor- 

 mation.
