 These deposits, formerly regarded as representing the Lower Eocene 

 of the Paris Basin, had been shown by the author to be in part Creta- 

 ceous. The inquiry is here continued, and the following conclusions 

 arrived at : — 1. The great series of red argillites, with subordinate 

 breccias and the underlying Rognac beds (freshwater) in the S.E. of 

 France and in N.E. Spain, are the equivalents of the Garumnian of the 

 Upper Garonne ; 2. The same red indurated clays are the highest Cre- 

 taceous beds of the district, the overlying Physa beds of Langesse and 

 Montolieu forming the base of the Tertiary deposits, and being looked 

 upon as the equivalent of the Nummulitic series of the U. Garonne.

This breccia contains, amongst other rocks, fragments of Anthra- 

 ciferous grits of the Eoannais. It may therefore be regarded as the 

 limit between those grits (which are equivalent to the coal-bearing 

 beds of Anzin and Mens) and the Coal Measures of St. Etienne and Eive- 

 de-Gier. G. A. L.

Begins with a stratigraphical introduction with lists of fossils, then 

 describes in detail the deposits of Balerna and Fine (or Bernate). 

 Gives a table illustrating his views of the correlation of the beds. 

 Controverts the theory that huge glaciers may have flowed down into 

 the Astian Sea, the temperature of which was that of the Bed Sea. 

 Retracts his former opinion that the Fine beds are L. Astian. The 

 fauna of these beds consist of rolled L. Astian and of fresher-looking 

 U. Astian shells. The pebbles of the deposit have a fluviatile and not 

 a glacial aspect. G. A. L.
