100 Baron F. Hiiene — Sections at Guy^s Cliff, Wancick. 



Keuper Sandstone, having been found at Warwick (Coton End), 

 Eromsgrove, and Otter River, Devonshire. So the Steffanolepis-sand- 

 stone of Elgin is also of the same age as the Lower Keuper Sandstone. 

 But now, what is the age of the Lower Keuper Sandstone ? Two 

 of its fossils are also found in the German Trias, namely, Mastodonsaurus 

 giganteus, Jager, in the German Lettenkohle, and JiJqiitseticm arenaceiwi, 

 Jager, in the German Lettenkohle and Schiefsandstein. The numerous 

 other (autochthonous) Labyrinthodont species (seven) proves also the 

 age of the Lower German Keuper. So we conclude that the 

 fossiliferous parts of the Lower Keuper Sandstone (Tipper [and 

 Middle ?]), the Magnesian Conglomerate of Bristol, and the 

 Steganolepis-sandstone are of Lettenkohle age. Therefore the Upper 

 Keuper of England is of the same age and extent as the German 

 Keuper above the Lettenkohle ; while the English Bunter and perhaps 

 the lowest part of Lower Keuper Sandstone are deposits con- 

 temporaneous with the German Buntsandstein + Muschelkalk. 



III. — Note on Two Spxtions in the Lower Keuper Sandstone of 

 Gdy's Cliff, Warwick. 



By Friedrich Baron Huene, D.Sc, Tiibingen, Geimany. 



TN October, 1907, the Eev. J. Magens Mello, F.G.S., kindly took 

 me to the Lower Keuper section on the bank of the Avon at 

 Guy's Cliff, near Warwick. These sections are very instructive in 

 a special sense. 



It has been asserted more than once that the English Trias is 

 a desert formation, but I am of opinion that neither the Bunter nor 

 the Keuper can be thus explained. How could the presence of 

 JEquisetum, of Sharks and Ganoids, and of the many Labyrinthodonts 

 and Rhynchosaurians in the Lower and Upper Keuper, in this case
