A description of a Criuoid in the Santiago Museum, to which the 



name of Cothocrinites verrucosus is given. Its locality is not known ; 



but it is probable, judging from the matrix, that it was from the rock 



of Doiia Ana, in the province of Coquimbo. E. T. N.

The plates were printed in Rome in 1856, but not published, and 

 were found after the death of Count Rayneval. The Gasteropods and 

 Lamellibranchs figured were obtained with others near Rome. The 

 characters of the beds, as well as their relation to the surrounding 

 strata, are described. 210 out of about 270 species are now found 

 living in the Mediterranean, where, however, they are mostly very 

 rare ; about 60 are extinct. Some of the commoner shells of the 

 Mediterranean are wanting fn these deposits. This Suhapennine for- 

 mation is referred to the Older Pliocene, and is believed to have been 

 deposited during a period of repose, intermediate between the upraising 

 of the Apennines and the more recent chain of volcanoes of Italy and 

 Sicily. E. T. N.
