Refers to observations made, in the years 1852-1875, at 13 lighthouses 



around the coast of Sweden, which indicate that a rise of land has 



taken place in the S. as well as in the middle and N. part of Sweden. 



But the amount of this movement is not the same at every place of the 



coast, the observations showing a variation between the limits 0--15 



and 3*71 Swedish feet in a century. E. E.

 Santorin. [Geology of Santorin, &c.] A^m. Sci. Geol. t. vii. cah. 2, 

 pp. 43, and 3 plates. 

 The first instalment of the report of an expedition, sent out by the 

 French government in 1870, for the purpose of studying the volcano of 

 Santorin. The changes produced in the features of the islands of the 

 Santorin group by recent eruptions are minutely described, especial 

 attention being devoted to the modifications of harbours and anchorage 

 grounds. The author's study of the fumaroles, and tjie gases which 

 they evolve, leads him to group them into three classes, according to 

 their temperatures and products. Among other conclusions is the 

 penetration of sea-water to the subterranean sources of heat, and of the 

 reappearance of its elements in the hot springs and gaseous exhala- 

 tions. J. \V. J.
