 Considers the saccharoid marble of St. Beat to be of Carboniferous 

 age, and contemporaneous with that of Carara. The stratified series 

 in the Apuan Alps is as follows : — Lias, BlicBtic, Permian, Carhoniferous, 

 formed at its base of the Carrara marbles and above of shale, with Coal- 

 Measure plants and crystalline schists of Serravezza. G. A. L.

 These phosphates occur in nodules in the Poudingue de Malogne, 

 the base of the tufeau de Ciply (=Maestricht beds of Limbourg), which 

 lies unconformably upon the Lower Cretaceous rocks. This nodular 

 band is rarely thick enough for working. The craie hrune de Ciply, 

 which lies below the Malogne conglomerate, is also phosphatic, and 

 might, according to the writers, be profitably worked. G. A. L.
