284 NATURE NOTES. 
plateau of the Hexentanzplatz. The Rosstrappe (1594 feet 
above sea-level), so called from an impression in the rock 
resembling that of a horse’s hoof, rises precipitously on three 
sides, 793 feet above the Bode, and projects itself like a 
bastion into the valley. Somewhat lower is the Biilowshohe, 
evidently eroded by the stream at a later date as it slowly 
ate its way down to its present level. In the channel of the 
stream the Kessel, or Kettle, of granite, is an interesting 
object. By a necessarily long and circuitous route the 
opposite side of the chasm, the Hexentanzplatz (witches’ 
dancing ground) is reached. It is 1677 feet above sea-level, 
and stands 865 feet above the Bode. There is much here 
of interest to geologists, as the rocks assume peculiar castel- 
lated forms in places, while, in others, one thinks of Scott’s 
“rocks confusedly hurled.” Although infinitely inferior, no 
doubt, to the famous canon of the Colorado, the Bodethal 
is very fine, appealing not only to the scientist, but to the 
traveller in search of the picturesque, and to the lover of 
legendary lore. I. HUMBLE. 
New LOocALITY FOR GALENA. 
Last spring I obtained two small pieces of Galena from 
calcite veins in the agglomerate at Kincraig, to the west of

MICROPEGMATITE IN SEGREGATION VEINS IN THE INVERKEITH- 
ING DOLERITE. 
A MICROSCOPIC examination cf good thin sections of these 
veins under a magnification of about 200 diameters reveals 
the fact that the ground mass is chiefly micropegmatite and 
that many of the felspar crystals are surrounded by a 
definite fringe, also of micropegmatite,
