ASHMOLEAN SOCIETY, Monday, April 24.. Seven large boxes of organic remains, collected in the Himalaya mountains, consisting of bones of various large terrestrial mammalia, such as elephant, mastodon, hippopotamus, &c., have been received from Lieut.-Col Stacy. Dr. Buckland has undertaken to examine them and give an account of them to the Society at a future meeting. The Secretary read a paper, by Mr. Duncan, which gave a history of the various kinds of fermented liquors which have been, and are drunk by man, entering at some length on the characters of the wines mentioned by classic authors. Dr. Daubeney gave a description of the rocks of Adersberg, on the Bohemian frontier, one day's journey from the Reisengebirge, or Giant Mountains of Silesia, a spot remarkable for the weathered condition of the sandstone of which it consists. The rock is the quadersandstein, which is considered to correspond with the green sand of this country, and is a continuation of the rock through which the Elbe flows, in that district of Saxony called the Saxon Switzerland. The whole body of the sandstone formation, for a space of not less than four miles by two, is divided into polyhedral masses, to a depth from the upper surface of little less than 100 feet. The causes are, evidently, running streams and the downward actions of rain, to which NEWS. Dr. Buckland thought that the force of the wind ought to be added. A conversation ensued on the subjects of both papers, in which Dr. Buckland and other members took part."
