104 GEOLOGY. 



country examined includes the great massif of the Morgenberghorn, and 

 the region of gypsum and of Tlysch which stretches between it and the 

 Lake of Thun and the Suldthal. The occurrence of the following 

 formations is described in detail: — Flysch, Nummulitic formation, 

 Seewcrkalk (Upper Chalk), Gault, Schrattenkalk, Neocomian, and Iron- 

 stone formation (Eisensteinhilclung). P. W. R»

 Heft i. pp. 52, 53. 



Describes a collection of fossils from Monorostia, on the Maros. The 

 fossils occur as impressions in a reddish ferruginous sandstone. Twenty- 

 four species have been determined. This locality for the Gosau beds 

 was not previously known. F. W. E,.

Corrects certain points in Swiss geology, such as the age of Studer's 

 " Ironstone Pormation " {Eisensteinhilclung). This formation, widely 

 spread in the Bernese Oberland, has always been regarded as of Tertiary 

 age ; but the author's observations show that it is Jurassic. P. W. R.

The occurrence of Ammonites Murchisonice in the Ironstone formation 

 leads Studer to refer it to the loiuer part of the Dogger. The author 

 believes that it represents both upper and lower Dogger, and that it 

 presents a fusion {Verschmelzen) of the Amm. Humphreyi beds (lower) 

 and Klaus beds (upper), which elsewhere are separated. ^ P. W. E-.

Describes a section in the Moraine des Trompcttes which shows Plio- 

 cene beds resting upon upturned edges of Glacial deposits, thus proving, 

 for the first time according to the author, the existence of two distinct 

 glacial epochs, the older of which belongs to the Tertiary. G. A. L.
