1. Note on Zoophyctjs giganteus. By M. K. Kalkbrennee. 



[Proc. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, July 31, 1873.] 



Some peculiar structures discovered in the Carpathian sandstone, near 

 the Wallensdorf Station (Hungary), are regarded by the author as 

 traces of Algae, and described by him under the name of Zoophycus 

 giganteus. They are large semicircular impressions, with concentric 

 furrows and a broad folded or lobate border. It is remarkable that 

 these impressions' do not lie parallel to the bedding, but always stand 

 perpendicular to it in the rock. The size of the impressions varies 

 between 3 and 5 feet. • [W. S. D.] 



2. A new Cephalopod, from the horizon of Ceeatites Reitzi, in the 

 district of Bakony. By M. J. Boeckh. 



[Proc. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, July 31, 1873.] 



The author describes a new Ammonite from the limestone with 

 Ceratites Beitzi of Felso-Ors, in the valley of Kiraly-kut-er (Hun- 

 gary). In external form it presents a close resemblance to Am--, 

 monites fioridns ; but its septal markings remind one of those of 

 Goniatites Orbignyanus and Ceratites Haidingeri. The author names 

 it Ammonites (Sageceras) Zsigmondyi. [W. S. D.] 



3. Monte Titano, its Fossils, State, and Mode of Origin. 

 By M. A. Manzoni. 



[Boll, del R. Comit. Geol. 1873, and Proc. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, 

 July 31, 1873.] 

 Monte Titano, situated in the republic of San Marino, rises about 

 2100 feet above the level of the sea, and consists throughout of 

 Middle Tertiary deposits, nearly corresponding to the deposits of 

 Dego, Carcare, and Belforte, or to the Bormidian system of Sismonda. 

 These deposits rest upon the " Argille scagliose " of the Apennines ; 

 they are overlain by conglomerates, and these in turn by fine 

 sands and marls representing the Tertiary deposits of Sogliano 

 (Tortonian).
