farther south the terracing is said to extend to 300 feet above 
tide. 
(10) The extent of the more recent uphft is not known, 
since the retreat of glaciers, the inundation of ancient dwell- 
ing sites, and the records of tide gauges point to present down- 
ward movement observable within historical time.

Geological Survey of Georgia. Preliminary report on a part of the 
Phosphates and Marls of Georgia. S. W. McCallik. (Bulletin No. 
5-A. of the Georgia survey publications). 
The author prefaces his report by a brief review of the phosphate 
deposits of other countries, viz. those of England, Wales, Belgium, 
France, Spain, Russia, Germany, Norway, Tunis, Algiers and Canada. 
He also sketches the phosphates of South Carolina, Florida and Ten- 
nessee. He also notes at some length the different theories that have 
been proposed for the origin of important deposits of phosphate of lime. 
These deposits in Georgia are in the southern part of the state, and 
are probably an extension of those recently exploited in Florida. They 
are described in Decatur, Thomas, Brooks, Lowndes, Echols, Cam- 
den, Glynn and Mcintosh counties. These counties contain more or less 
of low grade phosphate, but according to Prof. McCallie, probably not 
enough of sufficient purity to encourage an expectation of profitable min- 
ing, but quite sufficient to be of great value to the agricultural interests 
of the region, and especially in the regeneration of exhausted lands.

On the hiterglacial Subnierge7tce of Great Britain. By Henr. 
MuNTHE. Bulletin of the Geological Institution of the University of 
Upsala, Vol. Ill, for 1896-97. pp. 369-41 1, with map and sections; Upsala, 
1898. 
During a visit of a few weeks to England and Scotland in the 
summer of 1897. the author there continued his examination of the 
glacial drift and associated marine deposits, on which he had previ- 
ously published important papers from his studies in Sweden and 
around the Baltic sea. The interglacial beds specially described in this 
paper are in Scotland, comprising (i) sections in the ravines of three 
streams near the middle of the west side of the oeninsula of Kintyre 
(Cantire), and (2) the section at Clava in the Nairn valley, six miles 
east of Inverness. These are the most interesting fossiliferous inter- 
glacial beds known in the British Isles: and probably the most sig- 
nificant investigation of any of their sections has been made bv Dr. 
Munthe. as here noted, at Cleongart, the most northern of the Kintyre
