66 GEOLOGY. 



clay corresponds with certain beds there, and must be paralleled with 

 the " Schlier " of the Vienna Basin rather than with the Baden Clay. 

 Characteristic fossils are Nautilus Aturi and Sepiastaire fragments, &c. 

 It is very rich in Eoraminifera, particularly Globigerince and Orbulince; 

 while there is a marked absence of Miliolce, Rotalice, PolystomeUidce, 

 AlveoUnce, &c., just as in the Austrian Schlier. The Malta deposits 

 are similar to those of Eadoboj, since in both cases the upper Mediter- 

 ranean stage exists only in its calcareous facies (Leitha lime), the lower 

 only in its argillaceous form (Schlier) ; while below is the Aquitanian 

 stage, presenting at Eadoboj its Sotzka facies, at Malta its Schio facies. 

 The new species Pecten KoJieni and Scalaria melitensis are described.

Abstract of memoir to be printed in the DenJcschriften, 



. Ueber die in Yerbindung mit Flyschgesteinen und griinen 



Schiefern vorkommenden Serpentine bei Kumi auf Euboea. [Ser- 

 pentine with Plysch, &c. in Euboea.] SHz. Jc. Ak. Wiss. Wien, 

 math.-nat. CI. Abth. i. Bd. Ixxiii. Heft 4, pp. 338-342, with folding 

 section. 

 The serpentine is intimately connected with grey and green schists, 

 above which come in, by gradual change and conformably, the Hippurite 

 limestones. The serpentine is therefore comparatively modern. The 

 schists, sandstones, shales, and breccias, inseparably intermingled with 

 the serpentine, are much like Eljsch rocks. Concludes that the " argille 

 scagliose " of the Apennines, also ultimately connected with gabbro and 

 serpentine rocks, as well as all similar beds, were formed by mud vol- 

 canoes, and are eruptive rather than sedimentary. E. B. T.

 Corrects statements made by Prof. Ansted respecting the solfataras 

 and sulphur produce of Kalamaki, on the Isthmus of Corinth. The 

 solfatara does not arise from Tertiary marls, but from serpentine, upon 

 which rest Pliocene marls and gravels. Of white Miocene limestone 

 there is no trace visible. G. A. L.

 Maklouba, a deep hollow, was believed by Spratt to be due to a 

 sinking down of the strata ; is thought to be artificial.
