reous sands, with RosteUatna ampla, &c. ; Zone of sands with vitreous 



grits, characterized by Cytherea suherycinoides. All these zones are 



subdivisions of the great Laekenian zone characterized by N. vario- 



hria, Ditrupa strangulata, and Orhitolites complanata. G. A. L.

Two zones. The lower composed of three beds : — 1, at the base, a 



bed of shelly re- assorted gravel lying immediately on a denuded Diestian 



surface ; 2, greenish sand with small shell-debris ; 3, brownish loam 



with land and freshwater shells and insects. The upper zone consists 



of sands without fossils. Short lists of fossils are given. G. A. L.

berg.] Ann. d. Mines, 7 ser. t. v. 



An abstracted translation of papers published by Kestner and Dunker 



in the Zeits. Berg-, H.- u. S.-Wesen, vol. xx. This boring has discovered 



a bed of rock-salt thicker than any yet known, at a depth of 293 feet ; 



and the boring was stopped at 1390 feet, still in salt. ObservatioQS of 



temperature were taken in the bore-hole, and the mean rise was found 



to be about 1° F. per 50 feet, or, more exactly, 1° C. per 33*83 metres. 



Tables of these observations are given. G. A. L.

Gives reasons for believing that the beds with V. annulata do not 



belong to the " Sarmatian," but are not older than the " Congeria-beds.'*

The Tertiary beds in the Agram district consist of two divisions. 



The lower are sandy marls, sandstones, &c. of the age of the " Leitha- 



kalk ;" they put on the appearance often of NuUipore-limestone rich 



in fossils ; one small bed of coal is mentioned. The upper beds begin 



with Cerithium-hcda^ which are fuUy developed, and are succeeded by 



the Couf/eria-hcdSf which form the bulk of this division. E. B. T.
