The surrounding country is somewhatcontracted to bring more of it into view. These are all the facts I am able at present to collect con-cerning this phenomenon. I have been particular as to thetemperature of the air, and the situation of the adjacent coun-try, from an idea that frost was a principal agent in producingit; and that, therefore, these circumstances would be impor-tant in fixing a theory. I will not, however, hazard any hy-pothesis on the subject; but if you deem the fact of sufficientimportance, your opinion, Sir, is respectfully
