1. The Urkut Tertiary beds contain a 5 ft. coal-bed; fossils prove 



these to belong to the M. Eocene, as N. Icevigata, &c. are common 



to the Calcaire Grossier. 2. The Nummulite beds of the western 



division of this part of Hungary have a diffei'ent facies from that of the 



eastern ; in the latter the species of Nummulites each characterize a 



special horizon, e. g. N. Icevigata the upper part, N. spira the middle, 



and iV^. Tchihatcheffi the lower ; lists of other fossils are given. The 



following n. sp. from the M. Eocene are described : — Cardium Wies- 



neri, Perna Urkutica, Ceriihium Fv£hsi^ Natica cochleana, Myliohatis 



superbus ; from the Cretaceous, Glohiconcha Baconica, E. B. T.

 The formation, which is assigned to the Lias by Forchhammer and 

 to the Avicula contorta series by Hcbert, occurs at several points along 

 the S.W. coast of Sweden, the most important locality being in the 

 basin of " Hogjinas," which probably covers about 250 square miles. 

 The strata consist of alternations of sandstones with shales and clays, 

 varying in thickness from 100 feet on the E. to about 800 on the W. 

 side of the basin, with two seams of coal, the upper being about a foot 

 thick, and the lower about 4| feet, half of which consists of black 

 shale partings. The underclay of the main seam is a good fire-clay, 

 and is largely used for brick-making and pottery. About 150 tons of 

 coal are raised daily, a large proportion of which is consumed in the 

 brick and pottery kilns. Near Helsingborg similar strata have been 

 bored through at greater depths with increased thickness of coal, which 

 Erdmann considers to be a local thickening of the Hogiinas seams 

 towards the bottom of the basin. In the Island of Bomholm similar 

 coal-bearing beds, probably Liassic, form a narrow belt along the S. 

 and S.W. coasts, containing 10 seams of coal from 8 to 30 inches 

 thick, which are scarcely workable, being much disturbed and of 

 inferior quality. It is considered, however, that these Secondary coal 

 strata may extend under the Baltic plain into Pomerania, and a 

 deep boring to prove this point has been undertaken by the Prussian 

 Government at Kammin, 40 miles north of Stettin. H. B,
