sent number, that Mr. F. J. Royle is about to give to the world the fruits of his 
laborious researches in the Botany and Natural History of the Hills and the upper 
provinces of India. We trust that his work will meet with a full portion of the 
public patronage, without which it would be ruinous to attempt the publication. 
2.—InDIAN GEOLOGY. 
List of the specimens of Rocks from the Tenasserim Archipelago, situated between 
the Parallels of 10° 50’ and 12° 10' N. presented to the Society, 15th Jan. 1831, 
By Lieut. Lloyd, 1st Assistant to the H. C. Marine Surveyor General*. 
No. 1. Clay slate, from a small detached islet on the western side of Sullivan’s 
Island, in Lat. 10° 54’ N. 
No. 2. Fine grained granite, decomposing, from a rock on the western side of 
the same island, and distant about two miles more to the northward ? its top has a 
very whitish appearance, perhaps from the action of the sun and salt-water. 
No. 3. Quartz rock, from a rocky islet on the eastern side of Sullivan’s Island, 
immediately opposite to No. 1, and distant from it about one mile, the breadth of 
the island in that part. 
No. 4. Granitic sandstone, from a small island of a reddish brown appearance, 
situated on the western side Of Sullivan’s Island, in Lat. 10° 58’ N. 
No. 5. Sandstone, from a point on the western side of Sullivan’s Island, near 
to the last. 
No. 6. Slate, from a point on the eastern side of an island named by Captain 
Ross ‘‘ Lord William Bentinck’s Island,” in Lat. 11° 40’ N. It does not shew the 
principal formation of the island, but merely a lump or patch on the point, and very 
easily separated with the hand, being in regular horizontal layers. 
No. 7. Quartz rock, from two hill islands situated off the N. end of Sullivan’s 
Island, in Lat. 11° 1’ N. 
No. 8. Granite, from the Alligator dry rocks, which are situated off the N. end 
of two islands, called by Captain Ross, ‘‘ Sir Edward Owen’s and Sir John Mal- 
colm’s Island.” 
Nos. 9 and 10. Granite, from Sir Edward Owen’s Island, the former from the 
eastern side, in Lat. 11° 13’ N. and the latter from the north side, in 11° 15’ N, 
No. 11. Granite, from Sir John Malcolm’s Island, in Lat. 11° 16’ N. 
No. 12. Limestone, (similar to that of Elephant rock, in the Quedah country, 
described by Ward,) from a small round and steep island, in Lat. 11° 16’ N. and 
situated on the eastern side of Sir John Malcolm’s Island. 
No. 13. Jasper conglomerate, from the Northern Elephant Island, of which there 
are four large and other smaller ones, between Lat. 11° 32’ and11° 36’ N. They are 
from 6 or 700 to 1000 feet high, and resting on small bases, appear at a distance 
like large peaked rocks: the northern one stands in six fathoms water, its sides 
project outwards, so as, in parts, toadmit of a boat getting underneath, and the rug- 
ged pieces of the rock beneath, at a little distance, resemble stalactites, of which 
the specimens are pieces that have been knocked off. 
‘* This list should have been printed with the proceedings of the same date, but the 
localities were not at that time known to us; they may now be found immediately. by 
reference to Captain Ross’s Chart of the Tenasserim Archipelago.
