EoEMER, F. Ueber die altesten versteinerungsfuhrenden Schichten 

 in dem Bheinisch-Westfaliscben Schiefergebirge. [Oldest fos-

 It has been generally considered that the oldest member of the 

 Palaeozoic rocks forming the hilly land on both sides of the llhine is 

 the " Coblentz grauwacke." The author shows that at Greiffenstein, 

 near Herbom, in Nassau, this series of beds is underlain by others con- 

 taining white quartzites, characterized by the occurrence of a large 

 Pentamerus (P. rhenanus). He also believes that the Greiffenstein 

 quartzite is older than the Wissenbach slates, these in turn being older 

 than the Coblentz grauwacke. F. W. R.
