Dear Sir,
I am delighted to find that you are so well pleased with the two papers which I sent.1
I have taken the liberty forwarding to you by Book post two other papers which may interest you which please to accept.2

Mag. for February 1867, and one on the Physical Cause of the Submergence of the Land during the Glacial Epoch. Phil. Mag. for April 1866.3
