 [See Neumayr, under Paleontology.] 

 Describes the distribution of the Congeria and Paludina beds in W. 

 Slavonia under the heads AV. and E. Uasins. The Paludina beds are 

 divided as follows : — a. Upper Paludina beds ; h. Middle Pal. beds, 

 subdivided into a. Vivipara hifarcinata beds; /3. V. stricturatahQdia; 

 V. F". notha beds; and c. Upper Paludina beds, comprising— a. Vivi- 

 para StuH beds ; /3. V. Homesi beds ; y. V. Zelehori beds ; I. V. Vu- 

 kotinovici beds. The map shows the lie of these beds on the N. side 

 of the river Save (parallel to which is their strike) between Neu Gra- 

 diska and Brood. The other formations shown are the Sarmatic beds, 

 Cerithienkalk and white marl ; the Leitha kalk, the Sotzka beds, the 

 Hornfels trachyte, and the crj'stalline schists. The sections chiefly 

 illustrate the occurrence of the various lignitic deposits in the Neogene 

 beds. G. A. L.

 black earthy cobalt in the Heidebcrge; rich copper-ores in Silurian 

 rocks of Niederludwigsdorf ; occurrence of Lingula Eouaidti and aDis-

 The Cretaceous beds of Gray were deposited in the straits which 

 separated the Morvan from the Vosges, and appear to indicate a com- 

 munication between the llhodanian basin and that of Paris. The 

 Ncocomian, lying upon Portlandian, is here scarcely 30 feet thick, and 

 consists of marls rich in fossils. The Albian is represented by green 

 sands below and bluish-grey clays above (Gault). In some cases the 

 Ccnomanian is seen to follow, and is itself overlain near Velleclaife by 

 a white veined limestone, which doubtless represents the White Chalk. 

 Lists of fossils are given. G. A. L.
