EXTRACTS, c. ____________ RIO DE JANEIRO, May 18, 1832. WE started from Plymouth on the 27th December 1831 At St Jago1 (Cape de Verd Islands) we spent three weeks. The geology was pre-eminently interesting, and I believe quite new: there are some facts on a large scale, of upraised coast that would interest Mr. Lyell.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . St Jago is singularly barren, and produces few plants or insects; so that my hammer was my usual companion

This had happened more or less to every ship carrying chronometers across the equator, especially when going to Rio de Janeiro with the sun to the northward of the line.

Unfavourable weather prevented a boat being sent ashore at the northern part of San Antonio; but observations were made in Terrafal Bay, on the south-west side of the island: and, after crossing the Equator, the Trade-wind hung so much to the southward, that Trinidad could not be approached without a sacrifice of time, which, it was considered, might be prejudicial to

At Rio de Janeiro, which was the first station observed at in South America, the cylinder was vibrated in August 1826, September 1827, and December 1828; in the intervals between these dates are comprised the greater part of the observations on the east side of South America. There is no direct observation at Rio subsequently to December 1828; but we are enabled to supply the time of vibration, which would have been observed had the cylinder been employed at Rio on June 1, 1830, in the
