 foundland. Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxx. pp. 722-745, 

 sketch map and 4 woodcuts. 

 Treats of physical features, ice-action, and lakes. Concludes that 

 there has been : — 1, a polar ice-flow from the N.E., aided in its action 

 by following the strike of the beds ; 2, local glaciation ; 3, later denu- 

 dation, mechanical and chemical, the sea cutting in along the strike of 

 the beds. Notes follow on mineral locaKties, plumbaginous veins, 

 gypsum, coal, and magnetic iron. The paper ends with a summary, 

 from Mr. A. Murray's Reports, of places not visited by the author.

Divides the beds above the Alpine Muschelkalk into Noric and 

 Carnic groups. The Noric beds of the district east of Berchtesgaden, in 

 which the Zlambach and Lower Hallstadt beds were deposited, do not 

 contain a single species identical with Noric beds in other parts of the 

 Alps, that district having been entirely isolated : the former is distin- 

 guished as the " Juvavic province " of the Noric epoch, and the latter 

 as the '* Mediterranean province." Many of the divisions which have 

 been made in the Alpine .Trias are held to be only local facies ; and it is 

 said to be impossible to parallel bed for bed Alpine with extra- Alpine 

 Triassic deposits. The Carnic group includes, immediately below the 

 Rhaetic, 1, Hauptdolomit ; 2, Raibl or Gardita-heds ; 3, zone of Tr. 

 Aono'ides (Schlerndolomit, &c.); 4, St. Cassian zone. The Lunzer 

 sandstone, Bleiberg and Reingrabner shales, <irlberg limestone, Gorno 

 shales, &c. are reckoned different facies of the Raibl beds. Classifica- 

 tions of beds in several districts are given in tabular form. E. B. T.
