die Kenntniss der BodenbeschafFenheit der osterr.-ungarischen 



Monarcliie. [Geology and its application to a knowledge of the 



Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.] 8vo. Vienna, Pp. viii, 681 ; with 



658 figs. 



A Text-book of Geology and its applications, with special reference 



to the Austro-Huugarian Monarchy. Part 1, on General Geology, 



contains the following chapters : — The earth, its crust, and its 



interior ; chemical and mineralogical constituents of the earth's crust ; 



rocks ; formation of the earth ; alteration of the earth's crust, or 



Dynamical Geology ; age of rocks, fossils and geological formations, 



or Historical Geology. Part 2, on Descriptive Geology, notices all 



the formations in ascending order. The special characteristic of the 



work is that all the illustrations, sections, fossils, &c. are taken from 



local sources. P. W. K.

1. Asserts that the limit between the Eocene and Miocene is to be 



found between the Nummulitic fauna of the Hautes-Alpes and that 



of Castel-Gomberto ( = Foiitainebleau sands). 2. Denies that the Yra-

 Urges that M. Pillet is wrong in regarding the Diphya-Kalk as 

 older than the Terehratula Moravica deposits. 



Hebert, Prof. -E., and A. Toncas. Description du bassin d'TJchanx. 

 [Cretaceous Basin of Uchaux.] Ann. Sci. Geol. t. vi. livr. 1, 

 pp. 112, 1 plate of sections and woodcuts in text (for Appendix on 

 fossils see post, Paleontology). [See also Geological Recoed for 

 1874, p. 72.] 

 The N. and E. part of this basin in Yaucluse is described by 

 M. Hebert, the S. and W. by M. Toucas, and the central by them 

 jointly, the memoir being one of a series on the Upper Cretaceous of 

 France ; the beds above the Gault are alone considered in detail, those 

 with Hippurites cornu-vaccinum being the upper limit. The U. Cre- 

 taceous basins in Prance are noticed, and certain palseontological lines 

 common to them pointed out. The general section in the Uchaux 

 district is : — 1. Mondragon grits, 140 metres thick; Turrilites Bergeri, 

 Amm. Khotomagensis, &c.=Cenomanian ; 2. Calciferous grits of Uchaux, 

 169 m. ( =T[iTon'mn), Amm. peramplus,pa2:)alis, &c. ; 3. Mornas grits, 

 296 metres, Splicerulites,. &c. ; 4. Hippurite limestone, 15 metres ; 5. 

 Piolenc lignites, 60 metres. These groups are further broken into 

 smaller divisions, lists of fossils being given ; and they are paralleled
