1. The Tzrtrary Frora of Raposos.

[Proc. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, May 19, 1870.] 
Ar present the Tertiary Flora of Radoboj is known to include 295 
species, which occur in six localities: 9 of these are marine forms 
(7 Algz and 2 Naiadezx); 6 are freshwater (1 Chara, 1 Salvinia, 1 
Potamogeton, 1 Halorhagea, and 2 T'yphacew); and 5 are palustrine 
(2 Hquiseta, 1 Juncus, 1 Ledum, and 1 Andromeda). Among the 
terrestrial plants a valley-vegetation of decidedly tropical character 
is represented by the remains of Palms, Artocarpese, species of Hicus, 
Apocynaceze, Sapotacese, Ebenaceze, Bombaceze, Kngelhardtiw, Com- 
bretaceze, and Melastomacez ; a mountain-vegetation by the genera 
Pinus, Betula, Fagus, Ostrya, Carpimus, Ulmus, Populus and Cle- 
matis; and an intermediate flora of subtropical and warm temperate 
type by a few Laurinee, Magnolacez, Styraceze, Oleacex, Celas- 
trinex, Iliciness, Anacardiacee, and Rhamnacee. On the whole 
the flora of Radoboj is not coéval with that of the Aquitanian Brown- 
coal:formation, as supposed by Prof. Unger, but belongs to a higher 
geological horizon, and presents a striking resemblance to the flora 
of Priesen, near Bilin (N. Bohemia). [Count M. } 
2. On the Fauna of the Cutm and Carsonrrerovs Limestone of 
Lower Siresta. By Dr. E. Trerze, 
|Proe. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, April 25, 1870.] 
Tux only trace of vertebrate animals from these deposits is a tooth 
of Otenoptychius found at Altwasser. The trilobites are represented 
by Phillipsia derbyensis, Mart., P. gemmulifera, Phil., and some 
other species of this genus. Some isolated pygidia must have be- 
longed to individuals of larger size than those generally met with 
in the Carboniferous Limestone. Small Cypridine occur at Roth- 
waltersdorf.
