A detailed account of an exposure of Bruxellian and Upper Ypresian 

 beds at St. Josse-ten-Noode. Six subdivisions are recognized, among 

 which are two of the Bruxellian which were hitherto little known — • 

 No. 4, calcareous sands with broken fish-teeth and shells, and an inter- 

 calated very calcareous band in no. 3. No. 5 in the section is shown 

 to be the parent bed of the famous fruits of Nipadites Burtini, which 

 is thus shown to be Bruxellian and not Laeckenian, as has been sup- 

 posed. ' G. A. L*

 Gives heights of Lipari, Stromboli, and the other islands, with topo-

 lava and tuffs are seen. E. B. T.

 . Preliminary notice of a thick deposit above the Cuvieri-'Pla.ner and 

 below the Quadrat-chalk. It has been known as Grey Marl and as 

 Stoppenberg Marl ; but as it is typically developed in the valley of the 

 Ems in Westphalia, the author proposes to distinguish it as "Ems 

 Marl." F. W. R.
