in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society for 1837, (Vol. VII. p. 

 102) and also in his " Travels in Arabia." Both Zoology and Geology 

 require investigation. Mons. Aucher Eloy, a French botanical collector, 

 visited the Muscat hills about 1837, and brought away specimens of a few 

 animals, but his collections were small and imperfect. The hills look from 

 Muscat as if they consisted partly of the dark limestone which forms the 

 headland of Mussendom at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Some fossils 

 from this limestone were examined by Dr. Stoliczka and found to be Trias- 

 sic.
