Prof, de Koninck's doubts as to the place of at least some of the 

 Ceratites were, it appears, quite as well grounded as Mr. Davidson^s re- 

 garding certain of the BracJiiopoda.

Dr. Fleming, its latitude being 32° 43' and longitude 71° 39' at 706 feet 

 above sea-level and its temperature being 94°. This spring is situated 

 in the Bukh Ravine, in the Western Salt Range, between Musakh^l and 

 Namal. The water, according to Fleming, gives off sulphuretted hydrogen 

 and deposits sulphur.

 confined to the objects of his journey, time not permitting of detailed 

 geological examination. Dr. Oldham refers to the exploded idea (see 

 Dr. Jameson's report) that useful mineral fuel could only be obtained 

 from rocks of one fixed geological horizon, and demonstrates its fallacy.
