Stache, Dr. GuiDO. Ueber die untereocane Local-Fauna von Cosina 

 in Istrien. [The Eocene fauna of Cosina, Istria.] Verb. k.-k. 

 geol. Reichs. pp. 17-21. 

 Gives an account of the peculiar local fauna of the Cosina deposits, 

 and concludes that we may regard it as Eocene, and as one of the earliest 

 freshwater faunas of the period, not as referable to the top of the Cre- 

 taceous. H. A. N. 



Steinhardt, E. Die bis jetzt in preussischen Geschieben gefund- 

 enen Trilobiten. [The Trilobites in the Erratics of Prussia.] 

 Beit. Naturk. Preus. phys.-okon. Gesell. Konigsberg. Pp. 64, 

 with 6 plates. 

 A monograph descriptive of all the Trilobites which have been found 

 in the erratic boulders of Prussia. These boulders are chiefly of lime- 

 stone from the Silurian deposits of Scandinavia and Russia. The author 

 describes and figures 48 species of Trilobites from them. Most of the 

 forms occur in the Silurian rocks of Sweden and Russia. 15 species 

 are found both in Sweden and Russia, 17 in Russia alone, 5 in Sweden 

 alone. 29 are L. Silurian, 7 are U. Silurian, and 1 belongs to both 

 groups. 20 of the species occur in the erratics of the great plain of 

 Northern Germany out of Prussia ; and 1 {Lichas tricuspidatus, Beyr.) 

 is hitherto only known as occurring in these boulders. Besides species 

 already known, and others which could not be determined, the follow- 

 ing new species are described — Asaphus platyrhachis, A. tecticaudatus, 

 A. undulatus, Lichees velata, L. cequiloba, and L. quadncornis.

and fig. 5. 



Discusses the characters of the wings, upon which have been founded 



the Gryllacris Uru/eri from the Eocene, and the G. ( Corydalis) Brong- 



niarti, from the Coal Measures. These are critically compared with 



the wing of recent species of Gryllacris. Also notices the occurrence of 



a well-marked " file " in the wing of Gryllacris Brongniarti. H. A. N.
