On the Identity of Pinus Peuce, Griseb., of Macedonia, with the P. excelsa of the Himalaya Mountains.

(s. str.) mangmayanus sp. n. C. (s. str.) bilobatus sp. n., C. (s. str.) gokarnaensis sp. n., C. (s. str.) pseudogokarnaensis sp. n., C. (s. str.) mahisapala sp. n., C. (s. str.) licchavi sp. n., C. (s. str.) gopala sp. n., C. (s. str.) paniporuanus sp. n., C. (s. str.) brachyclavatus sp. n., C. (s. str.) phulchokianus sp. n., C. (s. str.) pokharensis sp. n., C. (s. str.) newar sp. n., C.

(s. str.) poonensis sp. n. Cephennodes popeye occurs in Bhutan; all remaining species inhabit Nepal. Four new species groups are established in Cephennodes, and a checklist of all Cephennodes species placed in species groups is given. The presumably plesiomorphic morphological structures of H. primitivus are discussed, and comparative notes on the Himalayan Cephenniini fauna are presented.

Capt. A. Gerard, from whose letters on a survey of the middle valley of the Setlej, in the year 1818, a brief sketch of the geology of that part of the Himálaya was prepared, which has been inserted in the Geological Transactions (1st vol., New Series), has since continued to explore the same interesting portion of the great Indian chain of mountains. A short narrative of a visit to the same quarter, in 1820, was communicated to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and is published in the 10th volume of the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, (page 295.) In the subsequent, year (1821) Capt. A. Gerard, with his brother, Mr. J. G. Gerard, more fully explored the same valley, to complete a geographical survey of it. Their diary, and the geological specimens collected by them, have, at their request, been freely communicated to me by the East-India Company, with the liberal permission of retaining a duplicate set of the specimens. This I accordingly have had the satisfaction of presenting to the Geological Society. But, as the diary contains particulars unconnected with geology, yet not devoid of interest in a more general view, I now offer to the notice of the Royal Asiatic Society a summary of it, interspersed with remarks, and including extracts of the more important passages.

1. The object of the present note is to add to Notes I and II some particulars of the transit not detailed in those notes. The latter contained only sufficient extracts from my observatory notes in connexion chiefly with the three contacts which I observed; as, however, various other facts, besides the contacts, were developed in course of the transit, and elicited remarks from me at the time, it seems desirable that a complete transcript of these observatory notes should also be put on record; both in connexion with what hereafter follows, and also to meet any possible future requirements of details, such as expressed by Captain Tupman in his discussion of the mean solar parallax.

The two facsimile copies from which the following inscription is edited were obtained, some years ago, from Colonel Dawes. This gentleman has had the goodness to inform me that the stone containing it “was found in a very old temple, which was filled with images of different kinds, situated in the village of Lakhamundul, in the Sirmoor District. It is on the right bank of the river Jumna, and only a few miles from the spot where that river leaves the Himalaya mountains. The slab was in good preservation; two feet by one and a half; and of good durable stone.”
