Vol. XI. 1855 ; with seventy-eight plates. 
(Pettko) Geological chart of the district of Schemnitz ; with a coloured map— 
pp. 8. The whole Trachytic region of Schemnitz, stretching east, south, and 
south-west, to Kremnitz connectedly, presents the appearance of one vast crater of 
elevation, forming a Trachytic ring. To the north and west a great variety of 
Geological configuration prevails. (Ettinghausen) The Tertiary Flora of the 
environs of Vienna ; with five plates : a.d., 1851—pp. 36. The fossil flora of this 
district, which belongs to the Miocene period, includes the representatives of 
twenty-six genera, two of which are new to the Tertiary Flora. Of thirty-three 
species distinguished, thirteen have been already observed elsewhere. The strongest 
analogy is to the Tertiary Flora of Upper Styria. (Same) The Tertiary Flora 
of Haring in the Tyrol; with thirty-one plates: a.d., 1853—pp. 118. This is one 
of the richest and longest known fields of the Tertiary Flora in the Austrian 
Empire. One hundred and eighty species are enumerated, derived from the car¬ 
boniferous deposits of the Eocene period. The vegetation indicates a tropical cli¬ 
mate, the mean temperature of which may have ranged between 18° and 20° of 
Reaumur. Palms occur, along with many Dicotyledonous forms of purely tropical 
character. The condition of the soil was probably analogous to that of New 
Holland at the present day. One species only has been recognized which may be 
supposed to have grown in a large lake. (Same) The Flora of the coal-mea¬ 
sures of Radnitz in Bohemia ; with twenty-nine plates—pp. 74. Some remarkable 
fossil forms occur in these deposits, to which there are none analogous in the pre¬ 
sent vegetation of the earth. One hundred and fifty-one species of plants are 
enumerated. The ancient locality seems to have been the interior of a large 
Island, enclosing several Lagoons. (Andrae) A contribution to the history of the 
Fossil Flora of the Siebenburgen and of the Bannat; with twelve plates: a.d., 
1855—pp. 48. The Siebenburgen have yielded thirty species, of which sixteen as 
yet have been found there only. They belong to twenty-five genera, representing 
twenty-two distinct families of plants. The vegetation, generally, wears a sub¬ 
tropical character, although it includes the analogues of some trees which grow in 
central Europe at the present day.
