Extract

Having had the good fortune to visit Brussels in January last, I availed myself of a few hours' delay to pay my respects to M. E. Dupont, the Director, and M. A. de Borre, the Secretary, of the Museum of Natural History in that city, by whom I was most kindly received and introduced to M. Henri Nyst (whose descriptions of the Tertiary formations of Belgium and tiieir invertebrate fauna have rendered his name familiar to almost every English geologist).
