denominations from other parts of the world ; and the re- 
semblance is, in some instances, very remarkable: — The 
sand-stones of the west and north-west of New Holland 
are so like those of the west of England, and of Wales, that 
the specimens from the two countries can scarcely be dis- 
tinguished from each other ; the arenaceous cement in the 
calcareous breccia of the west coast is precisely the same 
with that of Sicily ; and the jasper, calcedony, and green 
quartz approaching to heliotrope, from the entrance of Prince 
Regent’s River, resemble those of the Tyrol, both in their 
characters and association. — The Epidote of Port Warrender 
and Careening Bay, affords an additional proof of the general 
distribution of that mineral ; which, though perhaps it may 
not constitute large masses, seems to be of more frequent oc- 
currence as a component of rocks than has hitherto beeh 
supposed The mineral itself, both crystallized and com- 
pact, the latter in the form of veins traversing sienitic 
rocks, occurs, in Mr. Greenough’s cabinet alone, — from Mal- 
vern, North Wales, Ireland, France, and Upper Saxony. 
Mr. Koenig has found it extensively in the sienitic tract of 
Jersey t; where blocks of a pudding-stone, bearing some 
resemblance to the green breccia of Egypt, were found to 
be composed of compact epidote, including very large peb- 
terrains intermediaires coquilliers, formes du grauwacke^schistoide, 
et de pierre calcaire. 3°. Des terrains tres-recens, composes 
d'argile sahlonneuse et ferrugineuse, avec geodes defer hydrate, 
et du hois fossile, a differens etats. On distingue en outre des 
belles topazes blanches ou hleudtres, parmi les galets quartzeux, 
qui ont ete recueillis au Cap Barren.” — Bulletin des Sciences Na~
