subjects ; with three plates — p. 263-268. The extreme simplicity of the means by 

 which very delicate impressions are obtained not only in copper or pewter plates, but 

 from the stereotype with a common printing press, deserves attention. (Haidinger) 

 On hollow pebbles in the " Lauretta Conglomerate" of the Leitha limestone ; with 

 a plate — p. 480-491. (Oppel and Suess) On the probable Equivalents in Swabia 

 of the Kcessen strata; with two plates — p. 535-549. The Brachiopoda and other 

 deep sea species of the Koessen strata gradually diminish in going westwards, and 

 are replaced by other forms, mostly Pectinibranchia ; but the Vertebrate remains 

 determine the same Geological Period for this formation and the Bonebed of 

 Swabia. Two new species, Cypricardia suevlca and Leda deffneri are described 

 and figured, along with other fossil shells characteristic of the Swabian Bonebed.

Vol. XXII. A.D. 1856, 1857. 

 Part I. — Original Communications — (Mayer) The Anatomy of the Orang- 

 utangand the Chimpanzee — p. 281-304. In addition to the properly Anatomical 

 details, the author touches on the question as to the number of species of Satyrus, 

 and proposes a new set of trivial names for them. In reference to the theory 

 of the progressive development of animals in Geological periods, and the hypo- 

 thetical descent of mankind from the monkeys, he remarks that in adducing, for 

 the support of these ideas, the stages of lower organization through which the 

 foetus of Man and the Mammalia pass, it has been overlooked that at the very 

 first origin of the human foetus, the character of the higher type manifests itself 

 predominant, since the noblest, that is the central parts of the nervous system, are 

 developed the earliest, and are relatively largest then, the head exceeding all the 

 rest of the body. (Blasius) On supposed new Mammalia of E urope — p. 258-280. A 

 critical examination of new species recently proposed by Gerbe and Dehne. 

 Arvicola leucurus Gerbe is referred to A. nivalis Martins, or Hypudaeus alpinus

 as well as A. incertus Selys, a local variety of A. savii, probably. Dthne's imper-
