 [Geology of the Eailway from Lunel to Le Yigan.] Bull. Soc. Geol. 

 France, 3 ser. t. iv. pp. 15-27, pi. 1 and folding table. 



This line runs N.W. from Lunel, along the valley of the Yidourle, 

 as far as the pass of La Cadiere, where it crosses the watershed into 

 the Herault basin to Le Vigan, the distance being 73 kilometres. All 

 the larger groups of beds are enumerated, and a section of the line is 

 given in the plate. The horizons cut through are (in ascending 

 order) : — Azoic rocks (Silurian ?), consisting of talcose schists and 

 crystalline limestone ; Inf. Oolite, in two divisions ; Oxfordian, in three 

 divisions ; Ammonites polyplocus beds, in two divisions ; Terehratula 

 Moravica limestones ; L. Neocomian, in two divisions ; Middle Neo- 

 comian, in two divisions ; Eocene, one lacustrine deposit only ; Middle 

 Miocene (Molasse), in two divisions ; Drift and Alluvium. Coal Mea- 

 sure and Triassic rocks are noted near the line. G. A. L.

 Gives a sketch of the Glacial and Postglacial formations, the passage- 

 beds between the Glacial and the Recent period, and the recent (allu- 

 vial) deposits, and an account of several archeologico-geological observa- 

 tions, under the following heads : — Stone-implements found in Yoldia- 

 clay, in Halland (W. coast); the finds at the Hiistefjord, arid at 

 Stangenas in Bohuslan ; the Yiiravall (a raised beach on the S. coast 

 of Scania, consisting of sand and gravel resting on peat, &c.) ; the 

 skeleton of Bos urus at the Zoological Museum of the University at 

 Lund ; the discovery at the port of Ystad ; the cottage at Sodertelge 

 (some miles S. of Stockholm). E. E.

 Gives an account of observations relating to the order of superposi- 

 tion of the different Cambrian and Silurian strata, and deductions 

 as to their relation to similar deposits in other parts of the country, 

 especially Dalecarlia. Some remarkable new facts are noted. E. E.

There are three principal Cretaceous basins in S.E. France, those of 



Uchaux, Beausset, and Martigues. The classification adopted is as 



follows (in ascending order) : — Senonian, 2 divisions and 3 subdivisions. 



Turonian, 3 divisions and 6 subdivisions. Cenomanian, 2 divisions
