a great mass of information, not only useful to the people of Wis- 
consin, but also of interest to geologists in general. It embraces 
chapters on the general geology of the Lake Superior region, 
by R. D. Irving; on the lithology of the Keweenawan or cop- 
per-bearing system, by R. Pumpelly; on the geology of the 
Eastern Lake Superior district, by R. D. Irving ; on the Huronian 
the late Moses Strong, and edited . C. Chamberlain; on the 
geology of the Menominee region, by T. B. Brooks; and lastly 
on the geology of the Menominee Iron region. The volume is 
noteworthy from the valuable contributions to lithology, illustrated 
by numerous colored plates, and to the mining interests of the 
State, z. e., the Huronian iron-bearing and the Keweenawan or 
copper-bearing rocks, these portions being well illustrated by 
Mr. KINGSLEY ON THE CRUSTACEA BELONGING TO Union CoL- 
LEGE'—In this paper 103 species are noticed, two new genera 
(Eupilumnus and Concordia) are described, the genus Heter- 
actea of Lockington is recharacterized, and the name Miersia is 
proposed for Ephyra. The new species described are Actea spin- 
vera, Eupilumnus websteri, Lithadia lacunosa, Pisosoma glabra, 
Concordia gibberosus, Alpheus websteri, A. packardii, Ozyris alphe- 
rvostris and Pontonia unidens. On the plate which accompanies 
the article, nine species are figured, seven of which belong to the 
genera Pisosoma, Eupilumnus, Euceramus, Concordia, Thor, Ozyris 
and Tozeuma, representations of which have never before been 
illustrated. All known genera of the Caridea of Dana are briefly 
characterized. 
Crossy’s Grorocy or Eastern Massacuusetts.2—The Boston 
Society of Natural History, besides its Memoirs and Proceedings, 
has undertaken the publication of volumes entitled “ Occasional 
Papers.” The first was the Correspondence of Dr. Harris, the 
Entomologist; the second, Hentz’s Spiders of the United States, 
and now it gives us the results of five years labor by Mr. Crosby, 
as assistant in the Museum, on the crystalline and primordial rocks 
of Eastern Massachusetts, a subject of high interest and ofa good 
deal of difficulty. The introduction gives a general sketch of the 
topography and geographical features of that part of New England 
Surrounding the Gulf of Maine. The result of the author’s labors
