54i Report on the Progress of the Magnetic Survey. [No. 1. 



To these changes Lycium Europaeum is fully exposed. It is a native 

 of dry sandy plains, where before the rains it is stunted in all its 

 parts, but when the air and soil become charged with moisture an 

 expansion of all its parts takes place, fully accounting for the 

 multiform characters of its leaves and the diversity in the length 

 of the spines, etc. 



Report on the Progress of the Magnetic Survey and of the Re- 

 searches connected with it, from November, 1855, to April, 1856.

General Outline of the Eoute. 



My brother Adolphe and I left Agra on the 29th of November, 

 1855, and went through Dholpore and Chanda to Gwalior. "We pro- 

 ceeded thence through a part of Bundelkund, by Dutteeah, Jhansi, 

 Tehri, and Dhainoonee to Saugor, which we reached on the 4th of 

 December. 



Prom Saugor we took different routes. Adolphe proceeded by 

 Dhumow to Nagpore and Madras. I left Saugor on the 19th of 

 December, and proceeded by Maharajpore and Bermhan to Nur- 

 singpore, on the left side of the Nerbudda valley ; from thence I 

 proceeded by Jhansi Ghaut and Meergunge to Jubbulpore, where 

 I arrived on the 30th December. 



The route which I followed from Saugor to Jubbulpore afforded 

 me the gratifying opportunity of examining the large deposits of 

 fossil remains of elephants, rhinoceros, hippopotami, &c, which are 

 exposed on the sides of the Nerbudda valley, and I have been able 

 to obtain a tolerably good collection of specimens. 



During a stay of six days at Jubbulpore, I was engaged with a 

 series of barometrical and meteorological observations, and with 

 some experiments on the composition of the atmosphere, which were 

 afterwards repeated on the Umerkuntuk Hills.
