ISLANDS IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 



Bermuda. — Mr. Thomas Cunningham, of Chicago, Illinois, sent a 

 sheet-lead impression from a historic inscription on Spanish Rock. 

 This rock is located on the south shore of the island. The inscription 

 is believed to have been cut in the face of the rock by Ferdinand Cam- 

 elo, a Spanish navigator. A stunted red-cedar tree, which grows at 

 the south end of the rock, has protected it from the elements, and from 

 the overhanging branches were cut the tools with which the cast was 

 made, and which accompany the impression sheet. 



From the Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, were re- 

 ceived the collection of annelids, from Bermuda, gathered by Dr. G.

 College at Schenectady. The following is a list of the annelids collected :
