Entitled a Monograph of the Jurassic district of Lower Bavaria, 

 with special reference to similar beds in Franconia. The Keilberg dis- 

 trict is first described, containing Lias and Upper Jurassic ; then that 

 of Miinster, near Straubing ; and last that between YiLshofen and Pas- 

 sau. The chief development of beds is in the II. and U. Oolites 

 [weisse Jura] : the stages adopted are, above the Kelloway : — 1. Dingel- 

 rcuth beds, with Amm. hiarmatus ; 2. Yoglarn beds, with A. transver- 

 sarins, Scyphia limestones, &c. ; 3. Ostenburg beds, cherty limestones, 

 with A. himammatus, forming the Oxford group. Then Soldenau beds, 

 with A. tenuilohatus, placed in the Kimmeridge. The deposits are not 

 allied to those of the Alps, but to those of Franconia and GaHzia, e.g. 

 Balin, showing that the Jurassic seas of these districts were in con- 

 nexion before the upHft of the Bohemian mountain-chain, which is 

 posterior even to the Cretaceous epoch. 



In the palffiontological part a full list of species and their range is 

 given, the following new ones being described: — Perisphinctes Eggeri 

 and suberiniis, from Soldenau beds ; Li7na scahernma, from the trans- 

 versarius-beds ; Monotis Gimheli, Terehratula suhbavaricai from Orten- 

 burg beds. E. B. T.
