Review of Recent Geological Literature. * 251 
would be a useful little handbook for a geologist wishing to visit 
the classical region in middle Europe where Barrande made his 
important investigations. It contains quite a number of sections 
of typical localities of the Ordovician and Silurian rocks, and one 
of the Cambrian. 
A short article [from Comptes Rendus IX Congres, geol. in- 
ternat. de Vienne, 1903] tells of excursions made to the localities 
named in the preceding article by members of the congress among 
whom one finds the familiar names of Charles Barrois, L. DoUe, 
T. de La Touche, C. Wiman and others. 
A third article, "Uber die Brachiopodenfauna der Bande d. 1" 
[from Separat-Abdruck aus den Verhandlungen der K. K. geolog, 
Reichsanstalt, 1904, No. 12] describes the Brachiopoda of the lower 
division of Bande D at a number of places. This division d. 1 
contains the passage beds from the Cambrian to the Ordovician, 
and the two types of faunas are carefully set forth and distin- 
guished in this paper. Dr. Jahn finds a number of new species of 
Opolella, Lingula and Discina, which however are not described 
here. ' 
Another article from the same journal [No. 9] is entitled, Ein 
Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Bande d. 1. A. The rocks enclosing this 
fauna, quartzyte, graywacke, and clay slate, are described, and the 
species found at several localities are detailed. Obolus Barroisella, 
Lingula, Acrothele are the prevailing genera; Orthis and Rhynch- 
onella, also occur. 
These articles revise the names of Barrande's genera and will 
be useful to the student. g. f m.
