The tree of 187G was found by me in "the reef," or extension of the sandstone seaward, and near the low-water mark. Tiie upper part of tlic Jitump, probably filled with sandstone, had been removed by the waves, but about 2 feet of the lower part remained. It was extracted with as much care as possible by two miners with picks and crowbar, and the di,sk-likc fragments, into which it naturally split, were carried up to the foot of the cliff, and subsequently numbered and dissected at In the hurry of working against time to escape the tide, the men, it seems, left in the hole a portion of the lowest layer, and a fragment of an upper one. The former was after- wards removed by Mr J. C. liusscl, of Columbia College, New York, and the latter was found by Mr Hill.
