  On

  The 
  late 
  Geologist, 
  Herr 
  Jokely, 
  made 
  out 
  three 
  subdivisions 
  of 
  

   the 
  extensive 
  deposits 
  of 
  this 
  formation, 
  spread 
  along 
  the 
  southern 
  

   foot 
  of 
  the 
  Sudetian 
  Mountains, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  western 
  por- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  that 
  district. 
  He 
  founded 
  these 
  divisions 
  on 
  lithological 
  

   characters 
  and 
  mutual 
  transitions, 
  without 
  taking 
  into 
  account 
  the 
  

   organic 
  remains 
  included 
  in 
  them. 
  In 
  fact, 
  the 
  cupriferous 
  beds 
  are 
  

   not 
  peculiar 
  to 
  any 
  of 
  these 
  three 
  subdivisions; 
  those 
  worked 
  at 
  

   Hermans 
  Eisen, 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  subdivision, 
  are 
  bituminous 
  marly 
  

   slates, 
  undoubtedly 
  identical 
  with 
  those 
  of 
  Mansfield, 
  and 
  others 
  of 
  

   Northern 
  Germany. 
  Those 
  worked 
  at 
  Chrast 
  are 
  imbedded 
  in 
  the 
  

   arkose 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  subdivision, 
  while 
  others 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  upper- 
  

   most 
  horizons. 
  The 
  fossil 
  Plants, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  hitherto 
  known, 
  have 
  

   more 
  a 
  Carboniferous 
  than 
  a 
  Permian 
  facies. 
  The 
  greatest 
  pro- 
  

   portion 
  of 
  Asterophyllites 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  occur 
  within 
  the 
  uppermost 
  

   horizon. 
  Perns, 
  and 
  among 
  them 
  especially 
  Cyatheites 
  arbor 
  escens, 
  

   Schl., 
  together 
  with 
  a 
  Lycopodiaceous 
  form, 
  Wdlchia 
  pinnata, 
  and 
  

   several 
  species 
  of 
  Araucaria, 
  extend 
  through 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  forma- 
  

   tion. 
  Nceggerathice 
  are 
  exclusively 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  inferior 
  horizons, 
  

   as 
  Psaronites 
  are 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  ones.

  In 
  this 
  communication 
  are 
  given 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  the 
  explorations 
  of 
  

   MM. 
  Lartet 
  and 
  Christy 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  five 
  months 
  of 
  1863, 
  as 
  well 
  

   as 
  notices 
  of 
  previous 
  discoveries 
  by 
  other 
  observers. 
  Amongst 
  the 
  

   caves 
  examined, 
  the 
  Grotte 
  de 
  la 
  Combe- 
  Granal 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  contain 
  

   bones 
  of 
  Hy&na 
  spelcea, 
  Cervus 
  elaphus, 
  Wolf, 
  Eox, 
  Hare, 
  Horse, 
  

   Wild 
  Boar, 
  Ox, 
  Wild 
  Goat, 
  and 
  Chamois, 
  mixed 
  with 
  worked 
  flints 
  

   carelessly 
  fashioned. 
  An 
  ornament 
  made 
  from 
  the 
  ear-bone 
  of 
  

   the 
  Ox 
  was 
  found, 
  as 
  also 
  were 
  some 
  bones 
  of 
  birds; 
  but 
  no 
  

   traces 
  of 
  the 
  Reindeer. 
  The 
  Grotte 
  du 
  Pey 
  de 
  TAze 
  contained 
  

   worked 
  flints 
  and 
  the 
  bones 
  of 
  Ursus 
  spelceus, 
  the 
  Reindeer, 
  Horse, 
  

   &c. 
  In 
  the 
  Grotte 
  de 
  Liveyre 
  occurred 
  Reindeer-, 
  Horse-, 
  and 
  other 
  

   bones, 
  with 
  worked 
  flints. 
  The 
  Grotte 
  du 
  Moustier 
  contained 
  the 
  

   usual 
  animal-remains, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  separated 
  laminae 
  of 
  the 
  teeth 
  

   of 
  Elephas 
  primigenius. 
  The 
  arms 
  and 
  stone 
  implements 
  are 
  very 
  

   numerous 
  and 
  peculiar, 
  many 
  being 
  of 
  the 
  types 
  found 
  at 
  St. 
  Acheul, 
  

   while 
  others 
  are 
  of 
  great 
  size 
  and 
  strength. 
  The 
  Grottes 
  de 
  la 
  

   Gorge 
  dJPmfer 
  also 
  contained 
  the 
  bones 
  of 
  the 
  Reindeer, 
  <fcc, 
  with 
  

   flint 
  implements.
