lato), over Vergoraz, to the banks of the Narenta ; and a third through 

 the Isle of Lerina and on the south side of the Peninsula of Sabion- 

 cello. The Cretaceous rocks, here and there interrupted by Eocene, 

 and vice versa, prevail along the coast; and on the islands their 

 upper strata are characterized by Caprotinoe, and their lower beds 

 by Radiolites and Hippurites. Old Carpathian or Vienna Sandstones 

 (probably equivalent to the Upper and Middle fossiliferous Creta- 

 ceous strata) are totally wanting in Dalmatia. Jurassic, Triassic, 

 and eruptive rocks are confined to some few isolated and very re- 

 stricted localities, [Count M.]

These organic remains were found in a Nummulitic Limestone of 

 Middle Eocene age, equivalent to the " Calcaire grossier " of the 

 Paris tertiaries. Their special locality is the Colle Canis, near Pisino, 

 where they occur in a marly conglomerate, immediately above a very 

 thin seam of inferior Nummulitic Limestone resting on Cretaceous 

 limestone. Among them are Cancer punctulatus, Desm., Nautilus 

 lingulatus (not known before from the Istrian Eocenes), Nautilus 

 umbilicaris, Desh., Pleurotomaria Deshaysii, Lam., Voluta crenulata, 

 Lam., Cassidaria carinata, Lam., Scalaria crispa, Lam., Corbula 

 exarata, Lam., Necera Pisinensis (a new species of a genus but 

 scarcely represented in the Paris Eocenes), Nummulites distans, Desh., 

 and Nummulites Dufrenoyi, D'Arch. & Haime, with undetermined 

 species of the genera Carcharias, Oxyrliina, Voluta, Xenophora, Te- 

 redo, Cardium, Trochocyaihus, and Micr aster.

On some recently discovered Mammalian Remains. By Prof. Suess. 



[Proceed. Imp. Greol. Instit. Vienna. March 2, 1863.] 



A well-preserved, although strongly compressed, skull of Hyoihe- 

 rium Meissneri, a Porcine Pachyderm, has lately been found at 

 90 fathoms' depth, in the brown coal of Hart, near Gloggritz (south 

 of Vienna), The incisor, canine, and molar teeth of both jaws are 

 distinctly perceivable. These remains prove the brown coal of Hart 

 to be coeval (as are also the brown coals of Tauling and Schauer- 

 leithen) with the Marine Neogene deposits of the Vienna Basin, 

 A fine and uncommonly large canine tooth of Anthracotherium mag- 

 num has been found in the coal of Lukawitz (N.W. Bohemia). This 

 fossil, together with the vegetable remains found there by the late 

 Mr. Jokely, prove this coal to belong to the Oligocene period, and 

 consequently to be coeval with those of Solzka in Carniola, Zo- 

 vencedo in Venetia, and Monte Promina in Dalmatia.
