also Neocomian ; 3. Ropianka beds with fucoids, petroleum-bearing, 

 also Neocomian. Middle Carpathian sandstone, probably of Gault age ; 

 and U. Sandstone, Schipot sandstone and shale, probably Eocene, fol- 

 lowed by Nuraraulitic sandstones. The Neogene deposits occupy half 

 of the country ; at the base are the salt-beds of Galicia, representing 

 the L. Mediterranean stage ; they are worked at Kaczika, but occupy 

 little of the surface, the U. Mediterranean and Sarmatian beds covering 

 all the rest. Many sketch-sections illustrate structural details. E. ]3. T.

The Portlandian of French geologists does not coincide with what is 



understood by that term in England. At Boulogne, below the English 



Portlandian (Portland stone and sand) there is a great limestone-and- 



clay series (still Portlandian), which corresponds to part of the Kim- 



meridge Clay. This series includes, in descending order, the Ningle 



grit, the sands of Terlincthun, the Chatillon conglomerate, the Mt. 



Lambert grit, the Chatillon shales, and the grit of Moulin-Hubert. At 



Rouen and Havre the Kimmeridge Clay seems to extend below the 



Astarte limestone. G. A. L.

The fossils of which the discovery is recorded are Naticce, MyopTiorice, 



and one Avicula, probably the A. exilis of the Acephala bed near Esino. 



The specimens occur in a pinkish dolomite. G. A. L.
