28 GEOLOGICAL MEMOIRS. 



and Gics (S.E. of Eaab), to Kamorn ; and they are known to exist on 

 the north-west of Buda, near Totis, Komlod, Al-Czuth, and Tinnye. 



The localities on the left bank of the Danube are Toth-Gybrk 

 (E. of Waitzou), where Prof. Szabo* found a Congerian stratum 

 resting immediately on Cerithian limestone, and the places where 

 this geologist has marked the occurrence of Congerian " Tegel" on 

 his Geological Map of Pesth, Bude, and the environs f. Such places 

 are — E. of Csepel, on both sides of the left arm of the Danube, here 

 and there near Sfarvas (S.E. of Pesth), in the brick-fields, and near 

 Czinkota (E. of Pesth). 



Central Transylvania is known to be completely occupied with 

 Tertiaries immediately connected along the Szamos with those of the 

 Hungarian basin. It has not yet, however, been ascertained whether 

 this connexion existed when the Congerian " Tegel" was deposited. 

 One place, in the main gallery of the Kapnik mines, whence Baron 

 BichthofenJ obtained specimens of Oongeria triangularis, through 

 M. Szakmary, is hitherto the only known instance of this genus 

 occurring in North Transylvania. 



The Congerian strata are far spread throughout the southern 

 portion of this province ; and their frequent occurrence there prove 

 that a great portion of the Transylvanian Tertiaries were deposited 

 in an inland lake. I saw Conger-ice and Cardia among the speci- 

 mens from Omlass, near Reismarkt, preserved in the museum of the 

 Transylvanian Society of Natural Sciences at Hermannstadt. Unio, 

 Cardium, Planorbis, Lymnceus, &c. are mentioned in M. Ackner's§ 

 Catalogue of the Haunnersdorf fossils. Congerice, Melanopsides, and 

 Paludince, resembling those of Arapatak, were found between Hettau 

 and Michelsberg, S. of Hermannstadt. M. Ackner also collected 

 Congeria spathulata, Melanosis Martiniana, M. Dufouri (M. im- 

 pressa, Kraus, and M. Aquensis, Grat.), M.Bouei, and several Palu- 

 dince near Girstau, Szakadat, and Thalheim, places known for their 

 rich Miocene flora. I myself obtained, through M. Nagy-Klausen- 

 thal|j, a specimen of Congeria triangularis from Gait (S.E. of Peps), 

 and some Cardia (probably from the same fauna) from Bodendorf 

 (N.W. of Peps). The isolated basin of the " Barzeuland " includes 

 a long-known locality from which M. JSagy-Klausenthal^f procured 

 for me Congeria triangularis, together with several probably coeval 

 forms of Cardium from Bodendorf, N,W. of Peps. This basin in- 

 cludes the well-known locality of Arapatak, N. of Kronstadt, where, 

 in the summer of 1859, I collected Congeria triangular is, Cardium, 

 and a great number of Paludince, stated by M. Frauenfeld to be 

 Paludina Sadleriana, Partsch, P. semicarinata, Brard, and P. Des- 

 hayesiana, Math.
