These are : — 1. Antimonite, in serpentine, serpentinous limestone, 

 glossy schists, and pegmatite, at Luri, Meria, and Ersa, Cape Corse. 

 The antimonite is found associated with cinnabar. 2. Phillipsite and 

 galena, in granite, at Argentella. The galena is poor in silver. 

 3. Copper-ores at Castifao, Moltifao, Canavaggia, Lento, &c. in the 

 glossy schists abutting against serpentine. 4. Native copper, in ser- 

 pentine, at Linguizetta. 5. Galena, in granite and in the serpentinous 

 glossy schists at Calenzana, &c. 6. Haematite in large masses in the 

 granite of Otta, Vero, &c. in the Tenda range. Iron-pyrites very 

 common. 7. Manganese ores in the Tenda hills. The copper-ores are 

 found in a band running S.E. and N.W. G. A. L.

 No deposits were formed in Corsica between Infra-Liassic and 

 the Eocene times when the Nummulitic beds were accumulated. These 

 are largely denuded. The Miocene beds occur in 3 isolated patches — 

 on the E. shore of the St. Elorent Gulf, at Bonifacio and in Santa- 

 Manza Gulf, and at Aleria. These deposits are alike lithologically 

 and to a great extent also palaeontologically ; they have, however, been 

 unequally disturbed. Short lists of fossils are given. G. A. L.

[The Corsican Coast rising since Quaternary Times.] Bull. Soc. 



Geol. France, 3 scr. t. iv. pp. 86-91. 



Gives a resume of the Quaternary deposits of the Island. Shows 



that many deposits (raised beaches, drift, alluvia, &c.), quite different 



from the present coast-accumulations, are found at between 15 and 20 



metres above the sea-level. G. A. L. 



Terrains sedimentaires de la Corse. [Sedimentary Deposits 



of Corsica.] Bull. Soc. Geol. France, 3 ser. t. iv. pp. 431-433. 



Gives a summary of the formations present, which are : — Metamor- 



phic rocks (pre-Carboniferous), Carboniferous, Trias?, Rha^tic and Lias, 



Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Quaternary. [The Table of formations 



(p. 433) is in No. 7 of the Bulletin, published in 1877.] G. A. L.

Gives a short review of the theories which have been advanced 

 to explain the mode of origin of the Ssar. Thinks none of them 

 satisfactory. Considers the isar as the remains of the sand, gravel, 

 and waterworn stones accumulated at the bottom of channels grooved 

 out by the melting water and ice of the great ice-sheet. Refers chiefly 

 to Scandinavian facts. E. E.
