2. Dr. HoevelFs Tijdschrift voor Nederlandsh India 2nd. No. 
New Series* (from Dr. Hoevell.) Besides a continuation from No 
I of the general view of the condition of Netherlands India during 
1846 (which we find is likely to be too long for insertion in this 
Journal) and several miscellaneous articles, this number contains a 
paper on that interesting island Palo Nias, which attracted so much 
of Sir Stamford Ka^fie3 , attention while he remained in Sumatra. We 
shall give a translation or abstract of this paper.
