Off No Sima Lighthouse, Yokohama, a bluish-grey clay in a con- 

 cretionary state was brought up from 1875 fths. In the JN". Pacific, 

 lat. 34° 43' N., long. 144° 2' E., at 3950 fths., red clay was obtained. 

 On July 2 the dredge brought up many pieces of pumice from a depth 

 of 2050 fths., which appeared to be in a state of decomposition, and 

 often coated and pervaded throughout with oxide of manganese. The 

 red clay was full of round, oval, or mammillated lumps of peroxide of 

 manganese. R. E., Jun.

On the third day, appearance of dry land and creation of vegetation 

 includes all geological history up to the Glacial period. The fourth 

 day is given up to a change in the obliquity of the ecliptic, and to the 

 consequent Glacial epoch. The fifth and sixth days to melting of 

 glaciers and preparation of land for animal life. [Prom notice in
