and Geology of the Country round Valenciennes.] Ann. Soc. Geol. 



Nord, t. iii. pp. 131-138. 



In descending order the rocks of the Valenciennes district are : — 



Tertiary — white sands and sandstone of the Tapage, green sands of 



Faraars, Tuffeau, clay with flints ; Secondary — chalk with flints, Tere^ 



hratida gracilis marls, blue and green marly clays with beds full of 



Inoceramus labiatus, Pecten asper zone ; Palaeozoic — Coal Measures, 



Devonian. Above the Coal Measures there is occasionally present a 



very hard sandstone, shown by Dr. Barrels to be a kind of passage-bed 



(palaeontologically) between the " craie glauconieuse " and the Gault.

 Refers to Dumont's '■' Eifelian Limestone (E^)." The calcareous zone 

 running along the N. side of the Silurian ridge of Condroz is shown to 

 belong almost entirely to the Frasne Limestone, the Stringocephalus 

 Limestone being only known near Namur, and only a few metres thick. 

 The same results hold good for the calcareous band on the S. flank of 

 the Condroz ridge. G. A. L.

During a survey of the iron-mines of I'Amone the author collected 



a number of fossils from the clayey limestones there developed, tbo 



exact position of which among the Jurassic rocks had not been flxed. 



The species indicate that the beds are Bajocian or Inferior OoUt/»
