Contributions to the American Geological Society, since our 
last report. 
By the President, William Maclure, thirty-three volumes 
quarto, full bound, of the Journal de Physique, from Vol. 
LIV to LXXXVI inclusive, besides parts of some other vo- 
lumes... Mr. Maclure’s intention was to present the work 
complete; including preliminary and supplementary vo- 
lumes: it extends to about one hundred volumes, and the 
Society, through the bounty of Mr. Maclure, are now in 
possession of the whole of this grand magazine of mo- 
deri science,except Vols. LIL and LIL which are still want- 
ing, as are also two or three volumes or parts of volumes at 
the end of the series. With the exception above named, it is 
complete to Vol. XCIV inclusive, which comes down, from 
1771 to 1822, and there are some numbers in 1823 and 1824. 
The work we understand is now discontinued, but the Socie- 
ty will take care that the few deficiencies in their copy, shall, 
if possible, be supplied. 
The Revue Encyclopédique.—From the same gentleman 
there have been received all the numbers from XLIX to 
LXIX inclusive, and as the Society had before received all 
the numbers before XLIX; they have now received from 
Mr. Maclure XXIEI volumes of this work down to Sept. 
1824. 
Michaux’s North American Sylva, with one hundred and 
fifty-six coloured engravings. ‘This magnificent work in, two 
large volumes, in Mr. Hillhouse’s translation, has been also 
presented by Mr. Maciure. It has been already stated in the 
present number, that Mr. Maclure lately bought at Paris the 
balance of the edition of this celebrated work, and brought it 
out to this country for the benefit of American Science. 
French Romances, Tales, Poems, &¢.—Between — forty 
and fifty volumes, 12mo. of these, most of them elegantly 
bound, besides pamphlets, were contained in the same box 
with the Journal de Physique; they were put in to fill the 
box, and although most of them bear no relation to science, 
they will be acceptable to the lovers of French literature.
