 . A continuation of the above on the stratigraphical details of the 

 Condroz series. A number of detailed sections in each of the districts 

 mentioned are given, especially as to the great Northern basin, showing 

 that the 4 divisions recognized on the Ourthe hold good from Prussia 

 to the Boulonnais, the Evieux beds, hovvever, being absent, as well as 

 those of Esneux, Souverain-Pre, and of Montfort (in part) in most of 

 the, Northern basin. In this direction the whole series is much dimi- 

 nished in thickness. The local lacunse are clearly shown by means of 

 a table at p. 795. [For Reports on this paper see Dewalque, p. 58.]

Upper Jurassic boulders occur, probably dropped by the great Alpine 



glaciers, which may have extended over the Basler Jura and low 



country, and brought the blocks from the S. Again, Black Forest gneiss 



blocks seem to point to glaciers proceeding from thence. E. B. T.

 Bothliegendes, at 1203 ft. granite, at 1211 ft. mica-schist, at 1230 ft. 

 red granite, at 1316 ft. to 1422 ft. micaceous diorite ; as the hole 

 seemed to have struck upon an - eruptive dyke it was deemed useless 

 to proceed further. E. B. T.
