the jetty in Kingston Harbour, by Mr. Mullins, C. E., 
who gave an account of it in a paper read before the 
Institute of Civil Engineers, Ireland ; from the same 
neighbourhood the late Mr. Robert Ball had obtained it 
some years previously. It has since been sent to us 
from Polperro, by Mr. Loughrin ; from Falmouth, where 
it was found by the Rev. A. M. Norman, who, as well 
as Major Martin, and the Rev. Dr. Lansborough, found 
it in Ardrossan Harbour on the Ayreshire coast. We 
have taken it at the entrance of the Hamoaze, Plymouth. 
Mr. Thompson took it in Belfast Bay, and Mr. H. 
Pownall has sent it to us from the Southampton Water. 
It is, indeed, probably to be found associated with Lim- 
noria , all round the coasts of Southern and Western 
Europe, as well as the shores of North America. 
Our friend, Mr. Townshend, who was recently sent by 
our Government to visit the dockyards of the West India 
Islands and North America, and who gave considerable 
attention to the ravages of animals upon submarine 
timber, informs us that the only wood which resisted 
the influence of these animals was that of the common 
Hemlock- tree of the country, and that only as long as 
the bark remained upon it : but we have recently been 
informed, by one of the engineers employed at Portland, 
that the creosoted timber of the jetty, which has existed 
there for upwards of twenty years, has received no injury 
from them.
