A second, enlarged and improved, edition of a work published in 

 1868. Part I. describes blowpipe tests for the principal elements &c. 

 with which the mineralogist has to deal, and contains a complete 

 scheme of qualitative blowpipe analysis for the determination of mine- 

 rals. Part II. consists of tables for the determination of minerals by 

 means of their physical characteristics. T. W. D.

 Shows, in repudiation of Desor's view of glaciers reaching the shores 

 of the Pliocene sea, that the lakes of the basin of the Po are excavated 

 in Pliocene beds, the fauna of which disprove the access of glaciers to 

 the fiord in which they were deposited. The Pliocene is covered with 

 torrential diluvium, followed in the Griacial period by moraines pro- 

 duced by glaciers on the Post-Pliocene elevation of the Alps. W. H. D,
