cited as another instance of how mnch we have to discover on all sides 

 of ns. 



From Captain Haughton, 1st Asst. to the Governor General S. W. Fron- 

 tier, we have received a larger specimen of the Serai Kela Copper Ore which 

 is composed of an impure earthy Oxide of Iron and Copper, with Silicates, 

 Carbonates and Sulphurets of Copper. 



From the Rev. F. Fitzgerald, we have received some specimens of the 

 Auriferous Quartz Rock of North Carolina. 



I have put into the form of a notice for the Journal my account of 



another Amalgamation experiment made with 14 ft»s. of the Argentiferous 



Copper ore (Pacos and Colorados) from the Deoghur mine, for which we 



are again indebted to Captain Sherwill, and it will be seen that the result 



has fully justified my anticipation of finding a richer ore than those we 



before experimented upon.
