('uoss, in his paper before Ihe Col. Sci. Soc., Jan. '2, 1S93, gives some 
interesting facts regarding the crystalline schists of the Rocky moun- 
tains, and announces this as a preliminary paper. He first describes 
the geology of the region and i)oints out tlie fact that a ])revious 
study of tlie region by Dr. ¥. M. Kudlich is almost entirely incorrect, 
and this is well supported by Mr. Cross' observations. The strati- 
grai)hy and general characters of the schistose series are then de- 
scribed and lie finds that in |)assing nortliward the schistose charac- 
ters become more marked. The chlorite schist at this locality has 
furnished the enormous dodecahedral garnets now so conunon in 
collections. Then follows a brief discussion on the origin of the 
schists, and the reiatii)nships of the series, in which he announces 
that metamorphosed sedimentary rocks do iu)t exist among the crys- 
talline schists of Colorado; and finally concludes that the schists and 
massive rocks of 8alida "represent a great series of surface lavas 
erupted in Algonkian time." They thus repeat, apparently, the erup- 
tive phases of the Nipigon series of the lake Superior region, and fall 
into the same stratigra])hic jjosition.

describes some occurrences of this carbon. There are two localities, 
■both in the Tertiary ; the first at AVebb Bluff, AVebb Co., where it oc- 
curs in tlie Kocene, associated with gypsum and etllorescent sulphur; 
the second locality, in Fayette Co., where the grahamite occurs on 
Biickntn-'s and O'i^iiinn's creeks, in connection with brown-coal.
