Red Sandstone of EH. Pennsylvania, in a letter from C. HEATLEY, 
Esq., of Phoenixville, Pa., to one of the Editors—I have within the last 
three months made some important discoveries in our black shales of the 
Pheenixville Tunnel. I have found a true “ Bone Bed” and have ob- 
tained from it Sourian Bones of very great interest, whether Clepeisarts 
a, Centemodon Lea, or Omosaurus Leid y; ted ficult to determine. 
These fossils are on masses of rock, too large fir removal; they comprise . 
3 vertebra, ribs, tibia, femur, coracoid, and other age "Twill describe 
. the bones on the masses of rocks as I obtained them, v 
On No, 1. Concave vertebra 24 inches in dintrietée ‘with spinous pro-

Sandwich Islands.—A sudden tide wave occurred on the 2d of December, 
1860, along the coast of East Maui, lying between Kalului and Maliko, 
and extending farther on toward the ‘Hana district, a distance along the 
shore of some twenty-five miles. The wave, of which there was but one 
occ 
awhart or 8 parts by the new sugar company at 
were eattied inland and left high and dry, when the water mae 
henomena are no doubt caused by the volcano of Mauna 
a submarine eruption ee a disturbance in the Sint Pockfe
