It cannot fail to be perceived from the above abstract, how 

 much greater the number of species contained in the marine de- 

 posites is than in those of fresh water or lacustrine origin : thus, 

 the marine have furnished 240 species of shells, while the fresh 

 water strata have afforded but twenty-two species, &c. — A. B. 



6. Hisioire des Vegetans Fossiles, par M. AdolpJie Brong- 

 niart. — The second Uvrai^on of this interesting work has reached 

 this country. It contains scientific descriptions of the fossil 

 vegetables belonging to the genera Muscites, Equisetum and 

 Calamites, and is illustrated by thirteen lithographic plates, two 

 of which are of folio size. These are exceeding well executed, 

 and appear to be drawn with every requisite attention to those 

 minute details so essential in representations of this kind. A pro- 

 dromus of this work has just appeai'ed. It gives a general view 

 of the classification of fossil vegetables, and an interesting essay 

 on their geological distribution. 



6. Fossil Saurians of Wiirtemberg. — Professor Jaeger of 

 Stuttgard, has lately published figures and descriptions of the 

 remains of Saurian animals found in the kingdom of Wiirtem- 

 berg. He has discovered in a deposite equivalent to the Lias of 

 England, the remains not only of the Ichthyosaurus platyodon, 

 communis, intermedius, and tenuirostris ; but also of several 

 unknown herbivorous reptiles. Two of these he has described 

 under the names of Cylindricodon, and Cubicodon, from the 

 form of their teeth.

 rian animals, discovered by Mr Mantell of Lewis, during the
