BVBOPE. 105 



Shows that the specimens of N. planulata found in the Paniselian 

 are derived from the underlying denuded Ypresian beds, thus upsetting 

 the last argument which was used for placing the Paniselian in the 

 lower series. G. A. L.

 sous les sables pliocenes du Kiel pres d' An vers. [Presence of 

 Oligocene clay beneath the Pliocene sands of the Kiel near Ant- 

 werp.] Ann. Soc. Mai. Belg. t. x. 1875, Bull. pp. Ixxv-lxxviii. 

 Describes a recent exposure showing, for the first time in this dis- 

 trict, the junction between the Pliocene and Oligocene. The clay 

 which represents the latter is the equivalent of the Clay of Boom, and 

 is marked hy Septaria, which are much eroded and perforated bylitho- 

 jihagous mollusks : on its denuded surface lies the Pliocene Panopcea 

 Menardi zone ( = sands of Edeghem). The break represents the entire 

 Miocene series, or Upper Miocene according to some authors. G. A. L.

Distinguishes three systems of veins, the directions of which (N. 



110^ E., N. 140° E., and N. 70° E.) can be recognized likewise in the 



deposits of Lercoul, Miglor, and Chuteauverdun, and indeed in nearly 



all the iron-ore localities of the Ari(^ge. G. A. L.
