rocks, so that little or nothing can be expected from them.

Such is Captain Congalton’s very lucid 1 tar rati ve, and although our 
gallant friend has more experience in breaking fleets of Lanun pirates 
than rocks, and we have to regret the absence of geological details, 
we must not omit to mention that, mindful ol our \v ants, lie made an 
excellent collection of specimens. We intended to have given an ac¬ 
count of these as an appendix to his report, but considering that we 
could hardly do so without, in some slight degree, anticipating Co¬ 
lonel Low’s observations, we refrain. Although we are thus pre¬ 
vented for a time from availing ourselves in the way we could have 
wished of Captain Congalton’s fine specimens, we would take the op¬ 
portunity, which his kindness affords us, of begging that tliose of our 
readers who may have similar opportunities of procuring rock speci¬ 
mens from any of the numerous unexamined localities around u>? 
will bear our wants in mind.—E&.
