 and Apuan Alps.] Boll. B. Com. geol. Ital. pp. 1-18. 

 Retracts previous views as to there being evidence of glaciers in these 

 districts, and holds that what were considered to be moraines by him- 

 self and others are in reality remains of alluvial deposits and avalanche 

 debris, &c., cut up and denuded by later stream action. Smoothed 

 and scored rocks are said to be entirely absent. E. B. T.

A continuation [see Geological Recoed for 1874, p. 99]. Above 

 the Infra-Lias comes a limestone (oalc. ceroide) used as ornamental 

 stone, recognized by its Ammonites as L. Lias. Above comes red lime- 

 stone diJ0Fering from that of Lombardy in that it contains L. Lias 

 Ammonites ; it belongs to the upper part of the L. Lias ; it is not 

 thick. Succeeding is grey Lias, much thicker, belonging to the M. 

 Lias. Cinnabar occurs in the gneiss -and in both the Triassic and 

 Liassic limestones. E. B. T. 



Un brano di storia della goologia toscana, a proposito di 



una recente pubblicazione del Signer Coquand. [Fragment of 

 Tuscan geology, &c.] Boll. B. Com. geol. Ital. pp. 180-192. 

 A short history of opinion on the geology of the Apuan Alps: 

 mentions that Coquand in his last writings on the statuary marbles 

 [see Geological Record for 1874, p. 53] has not distinguished those 

 int<)rcalated in the lower schists from those which are entirely above 

 them ; the latter are certainly Lias, the former from the fossils seem 

 rather Triassic than Carboniferous. Moreover the Neocomian beds are 

 present. E. B. T. 



. Dell* epooa goologica dei marmi dell* Italia Centrale. [Marbles 



of Central Italy.] Boll. B. Com. geol. Ital. pp. 212-227. 



Covers partly the same ground as the preceding : compares limo- 



Btonos of other lofalitics, e. g. Montagnola with the Lower Lias of the 



Apiian Alps, and finds that thoy have the same position or the same 



fossils. Separates the sacoharoid limestones of Carrara, Spczia, and
