Enumerates 163 species, excluding numerous synonyms ; compares 



the fauna with that of beds in N. Germany, Hanover, &c. The results 



show the Salzberg marls to be the base of the Senonian, just above 



the equivalents of the Ems marls. The new species described are

The W. of the island consists of granite, in which are mineral veins 

 with a N.E.-S.W. course : the middle tract is occupied by " macigno," 

 in which occur Flysch fossils ; it is traversed by quartziferous porphyry 

 dykes. The E. end and higher part of the island consist of older schists, 

 in which are the iron-mines : though connected with augitic rock, it is 

 held that the ores themselves are not of eruptive nature. The case is 

 paralleled with that of Arendal. E. B. T.
