Several specimens of carved wood from Saharunpoor were laid 
on tlie]table. Dr. Jamieson, the Superintendent of the Botanical 
Garden at that place, intended that they should have appeared in 
the Exhibition, together with specimens of the different kinds of 
Tea grown in the Himalayan Plantations. But the packages 
having been late in reaching Calcutta, and^having been then for- 
warded in the Ship " Gustave" which took two months after leav- 
ing the Sand Heads to reach Madras, the articles did not arrive 
till long afier the Exhibition had closed,, 
The specimens consisted of Platters, Pen Trays, &c., carved in 
the beautiful white wood of Wrightia anti Dysenterka or the dark-

characters. 
These were found to be, for the most part minute Crustaceans 
belonging to the division of Copepods, Milne Edwards, and prin- 
cipally to the Genera of Pontia and Cyclops. 
An Amphipod Crustacean approaching nearly to the Genus 
Vihilia and found in the cavity of a Diphya was also conspicuous-

Besides these were one or two Aiinelides, minute Beroes a very 
small Medusa belonging to the Gerqonidse, and several remarka- 
ble forms apparently of undescribed animals. 
Although not represented with sufficient minuteness of detail to 
allow of more accurate identification, Mr. Wrench's drawings are 
executed with great spirit and appearance of truth. Mr. E. pro-
