as bear upon Indian Geology ; and, generally, of all facts illustrating the? 
immediate object of our researches, which may from time to time come to our 
knowledge. 
This series will be issued of the same size and general form as the c Memoirs/ 
so that it may finally be bound with them, forming a second part of each volume. 
It will be paged separately, and printed economically so as to be saleable at a 
very low price; excepting in special cases, it will not contain any illustrations, 
which in this country are always a source of great delay and cost, and so far as 
practicable, a part of this series will be issued at intervals of three months. 
These parts will vary in size as the matter available may vary, but within cer¬ 
tain limits the portion referring to each year will be kept nearly of the same 
extent. 
The present is the first issue of these ‘ Records,’ and must be looked upon 
as an experiment, which will only be continued in the event of its being found 
really useful.
