  however, 
  which 
  from 
  the 
  context 
  can 
  lead 
  to 
  no 
  mistake, 
  and 
  is 
  conse- 
  

   quently 
  of 
  no 
  importance. 
  Though 
  the 
  proof 
  of 
  that 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Report 
  " 
  

   passed 
  under 
  my 
  eyes, 
  the 
  error 
  entirely 
  escaped 
  my 
  attention. 
  

  

  With 
  regard, 
  however, 
  to 
  Professor 
  Owen's 
  remark 
  that 
  throughout 
  

   the 
  " 
  Report 
  " 
  the 
  discovery 
  of 
  Lagomys 
  in 
  Brixham 
  Cave 
  is 
  treated 
  as 
  

   an 
  original 
  discovery, 
  I 
  have 
  simply 
  to 
  observe 
  that 
  the 
  Report 
  consists 
  of 
  

   one 
  hundred 
  pages, 
  in 
  which 
  about 
  five 
  lines, 
  at 
  most, 
  relate 
  to 
  Lagomys 
  

   spelceus, 
  in 
  two 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  reporter 
  observes, 
  with 
  perfect 
  truth, 
  that 
  "it 
  

   has 
  been 
  met 
  with 
  elsewhere 
  in 
  association 
  with 
  Pleistocene 
  mammals." 
  

   The 
  statement 
  of 
  this 
  well-known 
  fact 
  is 
  hardly, 
  in 
  the 
  usual 
  sense 
  of 
  

   words, 
  a 
  claim 
  to 
  " 
  original 
  discovery."

  (Abstract.) 
  

  

  These 
  tidal 
  observations 
  were 
  made 
  by 
  Sir 
  Edward 
  Belcher, 
  R.N., 
  

   K.C.B., 
  on 
  board 
  of 
  H.M.S. 
  ' 
  Assistance,' 
  in 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1853. 
  They 
  

   are 
  interesting, 
  from 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  they 
  were 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  highest 
  lati- 
  

   tudes 
  in 
  which 
  tidal 
  observations 
  have 
  been 
  ever 
  recorded.

  discussion 
  of 
  the 
  heights 
  and

  of 
  high 
  and

  the 
  

   following 
  partial 
  results 
  have 
  been 
  obtained, 
  which, 
  it 
  is 
  hoped, 
  will 
  be 
  

   further 
  extended 
  and 
  corrected, 
  by 
  taking 
  into 
  account 
  the 
  height 
  of 
  the 
  

   water
