1. Some Remarks on the White Limestone of Corfu and Vido. 

 By Captain Portlock, R.E., F.G.S. 



As I have reason to expect that I shall hereafter be able to pre- 

 pare a detailed account of the Geology of the Ionian Islands, and 

 have at present but few data for a description of even the limited 

 portion of the country as yet examined, 1 now only offer a few 

 remarks on that portion of the white limestone which is adjacent 

 to the city of Corfu, and occupies the whole of the Island of Vido, 

 and on the more recent strata connected with it. 



On approaching Corfu the physical aspect of the country is very 

 striking. Monte Decca on the south, and San Salvador on the 

 north, the former with its sharp, broken, rugged outline, the latter 

 with its conical peak rising from a long ridge, and both exhibiting 

 steep faces marked by numerous deep furrows, by no means recal 

 the ordinary forms of limestones in our more northern countries ;
