given, to show the exact position of the marine beds ; and then 

 several of the seams are traced into the Yorkshire, Lancashire, 

 South Staffordshire, and Coalbrookdale fields. This tracing con- 

 firms the conclusion that the Hard Bed of Yorkshire is to be 

 correlated with the Bullion coal of Lancashire and the Crabtree 

 coal of North Staffordshire. Again, " Green's marine bed " at 

 Ashton-under-Lyne coincides with the Gin Mine horizon of North 

 Staffordshire ; and this, again, with the Pennystone of South 

 Staffordshire and Shropshire. Further, the marine beds indicate 

 the approximate identity of the Silkstone, Arley Mine, and Cockshead 

 seams. A bibliography is appended. 



Dr. Hind, in his Notes on the Paleeontology, remarks that from 

 the base of the Pendleside Series to the top of the Coal-measures 

 there is an unbroken succession of beds — at one time marine, at 

 another estuarine, without unconformity. The two faunas — one 

 with Garhonicola, Anthracomya, and Naiadites, the other with 

 Pierinopecten papyraceus and Cephalopoda — occur in irregular 

 alternations, the two faunas never mingling. The author proceeds 

 to give notes on the occurrence of many of the species, and 

 descriptions of some of them, including examples not hitherto 

 known from Britain and one new to science. A table indicating 

 the distribution of the species throughout the chief English coalfields 

 concludes the paper.

The Kyrenia Mountains form the northern rampart of the Central 

 Plains, and they rise abruptly to heights of over 3,000 feet from the 

 plain to the south and the sea to the north. They are composed 

 of rocks tilted into a vertical position, much altered by compression 

 and intrusion, and are devoid of fossils. They are referred by 

 Professor Gaudry to the Cretaceous Period, and are compared by 

 him with the Hippurite Limestones of Attica. They are pierced and 

 marmorized by igneous rocks of quartz-felsite type. In some places 

 they are schistose. Similar rocks are found in the extreme south- 

 west of the island.
