ARCTIC VEGETATION.—The latest explorations
of the polar regions show that at a certain remote
period vegetation was far more active there than it is now,
Armstrong, the natutalist, states that there exists an enor-
mous deposit of native wood on Bank's Island, where
branches and trunks of trees are seen protruding from the
clay in which they are embedded. Without much digging
it is easily perceived that the mountain of the island is of
igneous composition. Some of the trunks are rotten or
bear marks of carbonisation; others are hard and have pie-
served their f )rms. Some, 2G inches in diameter and more,
stand in water, and still preserve the appearance of wood.
Many acorns and fir apples may be seen there bearing
marks of petrifaction. There are many trees there
which, when struck with a hatchet, will crumble
into dust. There are pieces of petrified wood which emit a
metallic sound, and on some of the hills circular strata are
perceived formed of trunks still covered with bark. M.
Erman states that similar deposits abound in Siberia. Dur•
ing his travels in that country he visited Jakoutsk, on the
Lena River, where the soil is composed of marl, fine com-
mon, and lerruginous magnetic sand, to the depth of a t
least l'O feet. These strata were deposited there by water,
which must have covered the whole country up to the
Polar Sea. In the deepest places there are branches and roots
of beech and willow; and as the Lena annually forms new
islands, similar remains are observable on the ground thus
laid bare. Everywhere throughout these immense beds the
fossil bones of antediluvian animals are to be found
mingled with vegetable remains. In Norway, Mr
Hooker was s!ruek with the feet that large trees f,r-
merly grew on the island of Qusleen, where Lammerfest
lies; the only vegetation now existing there being a few
stunted birch trees. Some large trunks of the same species
aro still standing, their bark being sill distinguishable.
Now, since the air of Qualoon possesses remarkable preser•
vative qualities, it is not impossible that these remains of
trees may date from many centuries back, such trees not
having been seen to grow there within the memory of man.
GUN ACCIDENT.—WhiIe Lord Sandys was shoot-
ing over his estate at Oaaborsley, near Worcester,
on 'Wednesday, by 60T110 unfortunate accident the charge of
a gun lodged in his leg, lie was immediately conveyed to
Worcester, where he was seen by Mr Carden, surgeon, who
extracted several of the shots, but was unable at the time to
remove the whole, lie directed the removal of his lordship
to Obersley-court, where he is for the present confined to
his bed,— Biratiiighain feet,
