Tlie Palajozoie rocks 0( cupy in the province of Nerike, in Central 

 Sweden, a subtriangular space, surrounded by Laurentian rocks. They 

 consist of 3 chief divisions: — 1. Immediately above the fundamental 

 gneiss, sandstone, which has not yielded any other fossil remains than 

 tracks and burrows of worms or other animals ; 2. Schists belonging 

 to the " Primordial Zone," and containing in their lower part Para- 

 doxi'les and EUipsocephalus, in the upper Ole.nus and allied genera; 

 3. Lower Silurian limestone with Asaphi, Orthoceratltes, &c.,\)e\oiigmg 

 to the Mec/io Asaphorvm of Aiigelin. A list of the lossils is given, the 

 following being fijiured : — Barpes e.vcavatus, n. sp., EIJipso epJmhts mu- 

 ticus, Ang., Leptoplasius steiiotus, Aug., and Beyrichia anyehni, Barr.

Detailed boring- sections of trials for «alt made at Dax in the Landes, 

 and at Sommervillers, Dombasle, Varaugeville-Saint-Nicolas, Sainte- 

 Valoree, and Laneuveville, in the Meurthe-et-MoseUe. Considerable 

 deposits of rock-salt were proved in each case. G. A. L.

 rocks of the district are : — 1, Granite ; 2, Gneiss ; 3, Mica schists, either 

 pre-Silurian or Silurian ; 4, Green schists, — no fossils have been found 

 in these, but they are supposed to be Devonian, frequently traversed 

 by Diabase and k!lerpentine rocks ; 5, Carboniferous rocks (conglome- 

 rates, shales, marls, and limestone) ; 6, Rothliegendes ; 7, Trias ; 

 8, Eocene. G. A. L.
