sand underlying the ' Calcaire Grossier.'] Cornet. Bend. t. Ixxxi. 



pp. 1200-1202. 



This sand, in the neighbourhood of Paris, consists of felspar and 



quartz of granitic derivation, and of flint, limestones, and phosphorites 



of sedimentary rocks, especially derived from the pisolitic limestone, 



the Chalk, the Chloritic Marl, and the Gault. The granitic portion of 



the sand is supposed to have been ejected from belovr, and not to be due 



to the wear and tear of subaerial granites. The most compact granite 



at a red heat becomes a friable sand. G. A. L,
