Most of the formations contain ores ; and these lie generally 

 parallel to the strike of the beds, which is also that of the adjacent 

 Carpathians. [For beds, see Paul, p. 101.] True veins are mostly 

 absent, most of the occurrences being analogous to that of a Swedish 

 " fahlband ;" the copper-ores occur in the lower part of the crystalline 

 schists, the rich manganese ores are in the middle part, the upper con- 

 tains iron-ores, &c., each description of ore occurring only in a definite 

 horizon. The younger formations, Trias, Xeocomian, &c., contain, for 

 the most part, only iron-ores. The history of the various mines is re- 

 counted ; and many phenomena observed in mines now abandoned are 

 noted and illustrated by cuts. The copper and iron production has 

 decreased for some time ; but the manganese export is rapidly in- 

 creasing. Analyses of Spiegeleisen, <fec., are given. E. B. T.
