^{page 230 note*} The only publications on the Faroe Islands are those of Debes and Landt. The former appeared in 1670, the latter in 1800.

^{page 233 note *} In the annexed map of the Faroe Islands, reduced from that of Captain Born, I have traced our different routes.

^{page 235 note *} This variety has been referred by Hacy to the species Mesotype. From the great respect I entertain for the opinions of that distinguished mineralogist, it is with reluctance I venture to place it under a different name. It is not, however, without due consideration that I have done so: my reasons I shall detail more fully, when speaking of the Crystallised Mesotype.

^{page 238 note *} The Apophyllite of Utö in Sweden, as well as of Disco in Greenland, after separating in the acid, swell out in a very remarkable manner, occupying a space very much larger than the original; but do not combine into a gelatinous mass.

^{page 242 note *} It was not till after the third attempt that I was satisfied with this experiment. In the two first I met with unlooked for difficulty, by the hitching and entanglement of my cord, upon the projecting points of the rock, and also by the severity of the blast, which, striking on so large a surface, blew upwards with tremendous fury, even when there was otherwise apparently but little wind. I consequently bethought myself of coiling a given quantity of cord, upon a round stone, and forming a compact mass, of sufficient weight to overcome the violence of the wind opposed to it at the summit, which decreased proportionably to the opposition it met with in descending; while the shape, and unfolding of the rope, rendered it less liable to attach itself to the points of the rock. By means of this device, I succeeded to my satisfaction.

^{page 247 note *} The savage custom of tearing the wool from the backs of their sheep, still prevails in these islands.
