432 THE CRETACEOUS AND TEKTIARY GEOLOGY 



HoMBOLDT, Alexander von. — Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of the New Continent dur- 

 ing the years 1799-1804, by Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland (English translation from the 

 original French), third edition, London, 1823. 



Humboldt and Bonpland did not enter Brazil, and their observations upon the 

 geology of adjacent territory are referred to as valuable supplementary material in the 

 study of the geology of Brazil. 



Jones, T. Rdpert. — Note on the Fossils Entomostraca from Monserrate (Bahia), by T. Rupert Jones. Proc. Geol. 

 Soc, Vol. XVI, p. 266. 



Descriptions of five species of Cypridse are given, and Prof. Jones says that 

 they appear to be allied to the recent and tei-tiary species. This note is a part of an 

 article by S. AUport, on the cretaceous fossils of Bahia. See under All port. 



LiAis, Emmanuel. — Climats, Geologic, Faune et Geographic Botanique du Bresil, par Emmanuel Liais. Paris, 1873. 



The author of this book traveled extensively in Brazil, and his remarks upon the 

 geology of that country represent much personal observation. For many of his 

 statements, however, he gives no authorit3\ Hei-e and there discussions of the 

 geology of the entire South Amei'iean continent and correlations of terranes of widely 

 sepai'ated regions are attempted. Chapter V is devoted to the discussion of secondary 

 geology, and Chapter VI to that of the tertiary and quatei-nary. On p. 186, he says 

 that fossils collected by M. Meyen from a locality on the vrest coast of South America 

 and studied by Von Bach contained both cretaceous and Jurassic species. Much 

 doubt as to the value of the book is caused by a considerable number of serious 

 errors. What appear to be facts of great value are so interwoven with figments of 

 the imagination that, to those best acquainted with the geology of Brazil, it does not 

 merit the confidence one would like to give it. 



Maush, Prof. O. C. — Notice of Some New Reptilian Remains from the Cretaceous of Brazil, by Prof O. C. Marsh. 

 American Journal of Science, May, 1809, pp. 390-393. 



These fossils are from the B.ihia basin, and include Crocodilus, Thoracosaurus, 

 Megalosaurus. Lepitodus scales are reported.

This note, containing the description of one species of Melania, is part of an 

 article by AUport. See under Allport. 



Peueirv, Fi:r,ipi-n Frvncisco.— U )teiro da Costa do Norte do Brazil dosdc Maceio ate Paiii, por Felippe Francisco 

 Pereira, Pernambuco, 1878. 



This work contains geographical notes of value in this connection. The hills de- 

 scribed and figured along the immediate coast between Maceio and Para are nearly- 

 all tertiary, except that of Cape Santo Agostinho, which is of igneous origin.
