hopo to visit the further end of the Fjords, more especially of the 

 Sagno Fjord. And, having had great experience in Glacier travel- 

 ling, I shall spend some time, probably, about Fjerland, and the 

 Justedal's Broeen. I shall be happy to do anything in that way 

 also. I enclose ray card, and any gentleman who may have a 

 distinct operation to propose will meet with my best attention to his 

 communication. M. H.

OEMEROD'S INDEX TO THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL AND TRANS- 

 ACTIONS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Sm, — I have kept up my interleaved copy of my Geological Index 

 down to the end of last year,. 1867. Thinking that you might feel 

 interested in a tabular view of the progress of Geology, which is 

 shown by a comparison of the number of papers and authors included 

 in the Index (occupying a space of 49 years) with those in the 

 manuscript Supplement (occupying a space of 12 years), I send 

 you a copy which I think is satisfactory as to the results. The 

 great point is the increase in the number of authors : 288 fresJi 

 names having appeared in the Quarterly Journal during the last 

 twelve years, and these may be considered of course as only the 

 creme of the Geologists. If the inclosed statistics are of any use to 

 your Magazine, they are at your service.
