The Oxfordian beds of the Chatel St. Denis and Simmenthal districts 

 are thus divided — (1) red concretionary limestone, (2) cement-limestone, 

 (3) grey concretionary limestone : 2 and 3 are not found together, and 

 may be equivalents, being both overlain by 1. Under each head is a 

 list of fossils from the chief localities. The new species are Belemnites 

 Dionysii, Amm. (Phylloceras) Molesonensis, Amm. (Aspidoceras) Dorna- 

 sensis, Amm. (Asjndoceras) Candonensis, Amm. (Peltoceras) Gruyerensis, 

 Amm. (Peltoceras) Berrensis, Ancyloceras Ischeri, Pecten Pilatensis, Lima 

 Dornasensis. Amm. Getensis is substituted for Amm. Lemani preoccupied. 

 In all, 39 Ammonites and 34 other fossils are described. E. B. T.

 pp. 257, 258. 



The Chotts are lagoons in Tunis and the Algerian province of Con- 

 stantine, and they are regarded as the remains of a dried-up sea. On 

 the bank of one of these, small thin specimens of Cardium edule and a 

 worn valve of Area rliombea were found ; from another, specimens of 

 Cardium edule (the same variety), Melania tuberculata (a large variety 

 now living in the oasis), and Melano])sis cariosa, var. Sevillensis (now 

 only found in Spain), were obtained. These species indicate a, brackish 

 rather than a marine fauna. C. P. G.
