ranged and labelled in the cases, were exhibited to the 

 Society. 



Advices have been received of a box* of minerals from the 

 Giant's Causeway and its vicinity, forwarded from Ireland 

 by the President of the Society, Mr. Maclure. 



Mr. Macluro has aiso forwarded from Paris thirty-five vol- 

 umes of the Journal de Phvsique, to complete the set of 

 this great work, presented to the Society by him — and from 

 London the last volume of the Transactions of the Geolo- 

 gical Society of London, and of the Wernerian Society of 

 Edinburgh, with the first three numbers of the Westminster 

 Review, — all these are destined for the Library of the 

 American Geological Society. 



The Hon. Stephen Van Renssellaer has presented the 

 Society with a copy of Mr. Eaton's Geological Survey of the 

 great New York Canal, and with a box of specimens illus- 

 trative of the work. 



The Belfast Natural History Society have forwarded a 

 column of the Giant's Causeway, consisting of several artic- 

 ulations ; this specimen is one of the two which were con- 

 tained in their own cabinet; it is now next to impossible to 

 obtain specimens from the Causeway, as it is vigilantly 

 watched. 



13. Mr. Hitchcock'' s Geological Sketch of the Country on 

 Connecticut River, 



The various memoirs on this subject, heretofore published 

 in this Journal, have been embodied by their author, into a 

 single volume, which, with the accompanying map and other 

 engravings, may now be obtained, as a separate work. 

 There can be no doubt that it will prove a useful companion 

 for the traveller in the region of the Connecticut river, and 

 it certainly affords to the young Aaieiican Geologist an ex- 

 ample highly worthy of imitation. 



* P. S. Feb. 10, 1825.— This box has arrived.
