Thanks to the good management of Lieutenant Lvoch, the whole cost of this scientific exploration of the Dead Sea was but seven hundred dollars. From the letters of Lieut. Lynch,' quoted by Lieut. Maury, we transcribe the following inter- eating facts elicited by the exploration. The bottom of the Northern half oT this sea is almost an entire plain. Its meridianal lines at a abort distance from the shore scarcely vary in depth. The deepest soundings tbu's far 189 fath 6ms (1 120 feet )" Near the shore, the bottom is generally an incrustation of salt, but the interme diate one is soft .mud with many rectangular chrystals mostly eubes-of -pure salt.
