In Palaeontology there have been received the Journals of 

 Greological and Palaeontological Societies, besides numerous Me-

 library, yet they are not here specially enumerated, as not being at 

 present the direct object of our labours. It may be mentioned, 

 however, that one subject upon which we have had some recent 

 communications has been further illustrated by G. Borond's
