Abstract
THIS part of the “Palæontographica ”contains a continuation of Dr. Geinitz's description of the fossils of the Lower Quader Sandstone of the Valley of the Elbe in Saxony, and includes an account of the Brachiopoda and the early families (Hippuritidæ, Ostracidæ, Spondylidæ, and Pectinidæ) of the Pelecypoda. The species are carefully described and beautifully figured, and the synonymy and distribution of them are discussed at some length, so that the work must be regarded as indispensable for the student of the Cretaceous rocks.
