BEOBACHTUNGEN IM MITTLEREN JURA DES BADISCHEN OBERLANDES, von F. SAnp-

[Observations on the Middle Jura of the Upland of the Duchy of Baden. ] 
HE Chain of the Jura, broken asunder at right angles to admit 
the passage of the Rhine, is continued towards the north-east 
into the Duchy of Baden, but the typical Jurassic rocks are somewhat 
changed. Fromherz in 1888, and afterwards in 1853, gave a correct 
outline of the strata, and their relations with their Swabian and 
Swiss analogues. The author of the present memoir in 1856 had 
occasion to go over the ground again, and found a Nerinza-bed 
above the so-called Great Oolite. He was thus enabled to correct 
the nomenclature, and adapt it to the modern state of science. He 
has since pursued his investigations, and now gives the following as 
the series, in descending order. No representatives of the Kim- 
meridge beds have been detected.

UnBER ORGANISCHE UEBERRESTE IN DEM DACHSCHIEFER VON WurzBACH BEt Lo- 
BENSTEIN. [On Fossils in the Roofing-slate of Wurzbach, near Lobenstein, 
Thiringerwald.] By Dr. Gurnrrz. 9 pages, with 2 plates. (From the Neues 
Jahrbuch, 1864, Heft 1.) 
1] Meike paper treats of some few fossils found in the Wurzbach Slate 
by Bergmeister Hartung, of Lobenstein (Duchy of Reuss), by 
which the author determines that this slate or schist is of Silurian 
and not Devonian age. Most of these fossils are such as have been 
usually referred to the trails of Annelids and to the gallery-tracks 
of Crustaceans. 1. Gordia marina, Emmons, found also in the 
‘Taconic’ schists of North America. 2. A riband-shaped worm- 
like fossil, figured in pl. 1, fig. land la. 38. Crassopodia Thurin- 
giaca, Gein., pl. 1, fig. 2. 4. A worm-like body (pl. 2, fig. 3)
