It has been shown that the claj^ey greensand of Cassel is U. Laeke- 

 nian ; between this and the Diestian are some reddish -yellow sands, 

 the Sables chamois, which have been referred to the Miocene, but which 

 M. Ortlieb believes to have been deposited before the upheaval which 

 introduced the upper fossiliferous Eocene. This view is confirmed by 

 comparing the beds with those of the London Basin, where similar 

 sands (U. Bagshot) lie between the M. Bagshot (or Calcaire Grossier) and 

 the Iron sands which are probably Diestian ; in both areas also the 

 marine Barton Beds are absent. A. J. J-B.

Notices Yon Hauer's original opinion that the Esino fossils were of 



the age of the Hallstadt and below the Baibl beds. Stoppani first placed 



them above the latter ; but, owing to researches by Curioni, this opinion 



was modified. Curioni showed that at Esino a limestone series existed 



below the Eaibl ; and this he considered of the age of the Hallstadt beds ; 



while in other parts of Lombardy were fossiliferous limestones above the 



llaibl beds, and frbm this latter horizon he conceived the Esino fossils
