 Voyages of Captain Flinders and Commodore Baudin, is a 

 slight notice, by Professor Buckland, of some specimens col- 

 lected during Mr.Oxley's Expedition to the River Macquarie*, 

 in 1818; and a brief outline of a paper by the Rev. Archdeacon

 Voyage, in order to complete the catalogue of the Australian rocks, ac- 

 cording to the present state of our information. Having, however, given
