	Gentleman's Magazine 1868 part 1 p.646 and St. Vincent's Rocks, or the more striking beauties of the Craven limestones and the Clapham caves, the Cleveland limestone district, the extinct bone caves of Kent's Hole and Gower, the cliffs of the Yorkshire coast, so fast encroached upon by the sea, the white escarpments of the Portland quarries, the wondrous pebbles of the Chesil Bank, the trap terraces of the Scuir of Eig, and the Laurentian rocks of the North Highlands - the Connemara marble, with its Eozoon, the earliest known symtom of life in the world's history - each one of them is a study in itself, and we cannot read the account of them in any of their respective hand-books without feeling an irresistible desire to pack up our hammer, sketch-book, fern-box, map, and whiskey-flask, and take at once to the tramp. G. P. BEVAN.
