Enumerates the maps and literature of the subject, the extent of 

 formation, the rocks and minerals occurring in it, and its principal 

 divisions. A table of all the fossils, animal and vegetable, is given, 

 showing their distribution throughout the series, and a description in 

 detail, with extensive lists of synonyms and many figures, of the 

 anomalous genus Bactryllites, of one species of Fungi, 29 species of 

 Equisetacece, several of which he, however, correlates as being the 

 stems, foliage, and fruits of the same species, giving drawings of his 

 interpretation of the fruits of Huttonia {Ccdamites), Aster opJiyllites, and 

 Annularia. The stems of three genera of ferns are also described ; but 

 with this exception the ferns and his groups of Lycojpodiacece, Sigil- 

 lariece, Graminece, and Noeggerathiece, together with the separate fruits, 

 have yet to be described. W. C.
