2. On the Geology of some parts of the Alpine and Mediterranean 
regions of SouTH-EASTERN Kurore. By Ami Bovsz, M.D., 
F.G.S. &e. 
Dr. Bove in this communication states his views in reference to the 
classification of the nummulitic rocks and the connected strata in 
various places round the shores of the Mediterranean. He points 
out especially the great extent of these deposits in European Turkey, 
as shown in a corrected copy of his Geological Map of that country 
which he has forwarded to the Society. In this map he also indicates 
the occurrence of Silurian formations in Carimthia, Styria, and some 
of the neighbouring regions.

3. On the relative Age and Position of the so-called Nummultte Lime- 
stone of ALABAMA. By C. Lye tu, F.R.S. and V.P.G.S. 
In a former paper published in the Quarterly Journal of the Geolo- 
gical Society of London (vol. 1. p. 405, May 1846), I stated that 
the limestone containmg abundantly the Nummulites Mantelli, Mor- 
ton, which occurs near Suggesville, Clarksville, and other places be- 
tween the rivers Alabama and Tombecbee, in the State of Alabama, 
was a member of the Eocene tertiary group, and that so far from con- 
stituting any part of the cretaceous formation, as had formerly been 
imagined, it holds in reality a place high up in the Eocene series of 
the South. Inthe same memoir I gave a section extending from 
Claiborne through Suggesville and Macon to the west of Clarksville, 
Alabama, in which the position of the so-called nummulitie limestone 
was explamed. It was stated to be newer than all the beds of the 
well-known Claiborne Bluff, and I mentioned that “the bones of the 
gigantic cetacean called Zeuglodon by Owen were everywhere found 
in Clarke County, in a limestone below the level of the nummulitic 
rock and above the beds which contain the greater number of per- 
fectly preserved eocene shells, such as Cardita planicosta and others.”
