2207 feet (Vienna) in January 1875, when the surface works were 

 burnt down. Details of the apparatus and a section of the strata 

 passed through are given in plates v., vi. The entire depth was in 

 Permian (Dyas), consisting chiefly of alternations of red sandstones, 

 sandy schists, and conglomerates of crystalline rocks at the bottom, the 

 whole being inclined at angles varying from 18 to 30 degrees. H. B.

Notes of fissures through which the upper waters of this river escape. 

 Along one small tributary, the Drujou, 50 fissures exist in a distance 

 of 2 kilometres ; their size increases yearly. By means of masonry 

 the author has managed to stop some of the loss occasioned by these 

 fissures during droughts. Gr. A. L.

Notice of a small patch of Coal Measures, near PuertoUano. The 



locality is coloured as Silurian in De Yerneuirs map of Spain. No coal 



has yet been discovered ; pnd the plant-remains found are those of the 



Upper Coal Measures of the coal basins of Central France, and have 



at the same time a somewhat Permian facies. G. A. L.

 et sur I'Hydrogeologie des environs de Montauban. [The Phos- 

 l^hatic Deposits of the Tarn-et -Garonne and the Hydrogeology of 

 the neighbourhood of Montauban.] Bull. Soc. Geol. France, 3 ser. 

 t. iii. pp. 398-430 ; 2 plates. 

 The first part (pp. 398-418) treats of the distribution and origin of 

 the mineral j^hosphates of the department. These phosphates and those 

 of the Lot are of geyserian origin; they follow in direction, and are 

 due to the faults of the Oxfordo-Corallian limestones, although probably 

 they only began to be ejected towards the close of the Cretaceous 

 period, and did not reach their height till Middle and Upper Eocene 

 times. The second part (pp. 418-426) is illustrated by a map (pi. 

 xiii.) on a scale of 1 : 10,000, of the neighbourhood of Montauban, 

 which is virtually a drift-map on which the underground water sheets 

 are shown by a peculiar system of colouring, by means of which not 

 only the area, but also the depth, of these sheets is represented. The 

 third part consists of an explanation of an agro-goological and hydro- 

 logical map of the Tam-et-Garonno. . G. A. L.
