The third volume is dated Buenos Ayres, 1870. This work is a translation from 

 the German. The second volume is upon the geology of the Eepublic, and the third 

 upon the living and extinct vertebrates. It contains no references to the mesozoic 

 geology of Brazil, but it is useful in connection with its study.

This commission was made up exclusively of Brazilians, and extensive explora- 

 tions were undertaken. Dr. Capanema was chief of the geologic section. He 

 visited ]S"azarcth and the island of Itaparica in Bahia, Parahyba and Ceaia. He 

 speaks of the cretaceous rocks at Parahyba, hitherto unknown, and says that the cliffs 

 at Crato, said by Gardner to be chalk, are silicate of alumina.
