ranean to the Cantabrian coast is given. Mr. Eugene Smith, 
State Geologist of Alabama, gives an account of the geol- 
ogy of Florida, in the April number of the American Fournal of 
Science and Arts. He shows that the Vicksburg limestone occu- 
pies the center of the State, and that a small patch of earlier Mio- 
cene in the eastern center of the State, is the oldest formation 
within its limits. e everglades and coast regions are Post- 
pliocene. In the same journal Professor Marsh describes a new 
genus of Opisthoccelous saurians, which he calls Calurus. The 
vertebre resemble those of Camarasaurus, but the walls are more 
attenuated, and the caudal centra are hollow. It is probable that 
Amphicelias fragillissimus Cope, belongs to it. Professor Marsh 
proposes to regard the genus as the type of a new order, but gives no 
reasons for so doing. The second annual report of the Bureau 
of Statistics and Geology of Indiana for 1880, under the direction 
of John Collett, is published. It includes reports on the Geolog- 
ical Survey of two counties, Monroe and Putnam; descriptions of 
new fossil Invertebrata, by R. P. Whitfield, and a synopsis of the 
recent Mollusca, by Frederick Stein, M.D. Calvert and Neu- 
mayr publish in the Denkschriften of the Wiener Akademie, an 
article on the Tertiary formations of the Hellespont. They refer 
the latter to two divisions which are unconformable to each other, 
of which the inferior is upper Miocene. Fossil remains of Verte- 
brata and Mollusca are abundant and are described by the au- 
thors, A deposit of carbonate of lead and silver carrying 
chloride of silver and embolite, forming the surface of a consider- 
able hill, has recently been found in Southwestern New Mexico, 
by George Daly. It resembles the formation at the Silver King 
S. A. Miller, in 
the Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History, con- 
tinues his history of American geological work. _ His last article 
(April, 1881) covers the later writings on the Tertiary periods, 
but does not conclude this part of the subject. It covers forty-
