imported for breeding purposes as laid down in the decision by 

 the Board of General Appraisers referred to on p. 541 of the 

 last issue of this Journal. 



The Act provides that any animal imported by a citizen of 

 the United States specially for breeding purposes shall be 

 admitted free of duty, whether intended to be so used by the 

 importer himself or for sale for such purpose. No animal will, 

 however, be admitted free unless pure bred of a recognised 

 breed and duly registered in the books of record established for 

 that purpose ; and a certificate of such record and of the 

 pedigree of such animal must be produced and submitted to 

 the Customs officer, duly authenticated by the proper custodian 

 of such book of record, together with the affidavit of the owner, 

 agent, or importer that such animal is the identical animal 

 described in the said certificate of record and pedigree. Regu- 

 lations issued by the Treasury Department in pursuance of the 

 powers vested in them by the Act contain a list of registers 

 which will be recognised as books of record for the purposes of 

 this Act, a form of certificate of record and pedigree to be used 

 for imported animals, and certain rules to be observed for the 

 enforcement of the Act. 



Geology of Dublin and Leicester. 



Among the Memoirs recently published in connection with 

 the Geological Survey are two dealing with the geology of the 

 Dublin and Leicester districts, respectively. 



The first-named Memoir has been prepared to accompany 

 and explain the new colour-printed drift-map of Dublin and its 

 environs. The description given of the " solid rocks is mainly 

 reprinted from the original " Memoir to accompany Sheets 102 

 and 112 " which has long been out of print, but this part has 

 been expanded to include a summary of the researches carried 

 out by private workers and by the Survey since that Memoir 

 was published, and a newly-written portion dealing with the 

 " Petrography " of these rocks has also been added.
