	at p. 177. The necklace of matchless black Pearls, belonging to the Empress Eugénie has been referred to at p. 268 ; and the curious history of the pair of fine black Pearls, weighing 77 and 67 grains, will be found at p. 269. There are no doubt, other famous Pearls worthy of description, and some of these we hope to describe in a future edition of this work. The author will always be glad to receive information respecting any Pearls of exceptional interest, with the view of rendering the subject, in a future edition, as perfect as possible.
