 Cotta, Prof. B. von. [Chalk and Drift of Rugen.] N. Jahrh. Heft 



vi. p. 636. 

 Letter on the dislocations in the Chalk and Drift of Riigen. Be- 

 lieves that Forchhammer's explanation by upheaval is untenable, and 

 inclines to Johnstrup's view, which refers the phenomenon to ice-action 

 [see Geological Record for 1874, p. 74]. Objects to some of Suess's 

 views expressed in the ' Enstehung der Alpen.' F. W. R.

Credner, Prof. Ueber nordisches Diluvium in Bohmen. [Drift in 



Bohemia.] Sitz. nat. Ges. Leipzig, No. 6. [From JV. Jahrh. Heft 



viii. p. 881.] 



The occurrence of Scandinavian boulders in the Drift of Northern 



Bohemia shows that an inlet of the Diluvial Sea existed here, and 



communicated with the northern waters by means of what is now the 



low sandstone plateau of the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland. Finds 



the upper limit of drift on the Lausitz mountains to be 407 metres 



above sea-level. F. W. R.

 northern lUe-et-Vilaine.] Bull. JSoc. Geol. France, 3 ser. t. iii. 

 pp. 368-385, plates ix, x. 

 A detailed description, with small geological map (pi. ix), of the 

 geology of the country between Rennes, Saint-Aubin-d'Aubigne, and 

 Saint-Pierre-la-Cour. The divisions recognized are : — 1. Bilobite grits ; 

 2. Slates and grits ; 3. Graptolitc schists, these three representing the 

 Silurian ; 4. Lower grits ; 5. Schists and grey wacke ; 6. Limestone ; 

 7. Schist above the limestone ; 8. Grits above the limestone, represent- 

 ing the Devonian. A limestone overlying No. 8, and which had been 

 hitherto looked upon as Devonian, is shown to be Lower Carboniferous. 

 17 sections (pi. x) illustrate the lie of these beds. G. A. L.
