to come. The present contiibution shows that the rich fossiliferous 

 beds of Piz di Cainallo near Esino, containing numerous bivalves, Sto- 

 mafia Cainalli^ Ostrcea stomatia, Dijilopora annulata, <S:c., are the same as 

 those of Sasso Mattolino, acknowledged to be below the Raibl beds, 

 these being identified by several of the fossils being common to both. 

 The Val di Monte, near Esino, rich in Chemnitzice, is next considered : 

 it is held that the beds here are also below the Kaibl beds, but dipping 

 in the opposite waj- to those N. of the village, the position being a 

 synclinal with a fracture. It is said that no beds containing the Esino 

 fauna exist in Lombardy above the Eaibl beds. Beds with Avkula 

 exilis and Gyroporella vesicularis from other districts belong to a higher 

 horizon [" Dachstein "], being above the Eaibl beds : these two fossils 

 probably do not occur at Esino. E. B. T.

Note to prove that certain patches mapped as Devonian, &c., near the 



Russian boundary, are not rocks in place, but erratics which have 



yielded many fossils of this ago. E. B. T.

This boring, near Memel, passed through Drift 70 metres, Greensand 

 6 metres, Oxford Clay 84 metres, and was then in Oolitic cellular 

 limestones. E. B. T.

Notices a boring 2000 ft. deep which reaches the Zechstein, passing 

 through M. and L. Bunter : basalts cover isolated patches of Muschel- 

 kalk, &c., having broken irregularly through the Bunter, probably in 

 Miocene times. E. B. T.
