EFKOPE. 76 



A description of the Chalk of Moens Klint, with special reference to 

 its contortions. This is a reproduction of the author's paper read 

 at the Meeting of Scandinavian Naturalists at Copenhagen in 1873, 

 followed by a shorter notice of subsequent observations on the Chalk 

 of Eugen. F. W. R.

 Limestones, Caves, and Pre-Historic Remains. Proc. Geol. Assoc, 

 vol. iii. no. 5, pp. 207-210. 

 The Yezere rises in hills of metamorphic rocks, crosses some patches 

 of Coal Measures and Red Sandstone, succeeded by Rha)tic and Jurassic 

 rocks, and then runs over almost horizontal Cretaceous rocks, and at 

 last over Tertiary beds. The caves are in Jurassic and Cretaceous 

 limestones ; and in many of them stone and bone implements have been 

 found. [See * Reliquiae Aquitanicae.'] It is inferred that in the time of 

 the cave-folk the climate must have been colder than now. W. W.

 The caverns, which have now been quarried away, were in the lime- 

 stone rock of Aurensan. Remains of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, 

 and mollusks were found, and many bones of man, besides stone imple- 

 ments. On a fragment of slate is a rude outline of a man clad in a 

 coat of hard skin. W. W.

 Compt. Rend. t. Ixxviii. pp. 74-77. 

 The true position of the beds forming the basin of Sichon was not 

 known until the author found in beds of limestone forming the upper 

 part of the series a rich fauna of Carboniferous-Limestone age. A list 

 of the fossils found is given, among which some are marked as new 

 species, but not described. (See below, De Koninck.) G. A. L.

Letter describing Herr Merk's recent researches in the cave known 

 as " Kessler's Loch," near Thayingen. A bed of bone-breccia has 

 yielded numerous relics of human workmanship, including a figure of 

 a reindeer engraved on bone. Relow the breccia is a bed of marl in 

 which the remains of the Mammoth have been found, but not asso- 

 ciated with any traces of human occupation. F. W. R.

Letter on excavations in a cave near Schaff'hausen. A bed of breccia, 

 almost without bones, yieUed frngmcnts of pottery like those from pile- 

 dwellings. Below the breccia was a dark clayey bed with bones,
