Abstract
DR. NEUMAYR occupies the greater portion of this number of the “Jahrbuch” with the third part of his elaborate “Jurastudien.” In this paper he describes what he calls “der penninische Klippenzug,” a name derived from Penninberge, near Szczawnica, on the borders of Western Galicia and Hungary. The structure of this region is treated of at considerable extent. A long list of some two hundred and fifty papers, notices, &c., accompanies the memoir. Herr Franz Toula gives some account of the Randgebirges, near Karlsburg and Rodaun; and the work done in the Chemical Laboratory of the Institute is described by Karl Ritter v. Hauer. The mineralogical communications which accompany the “Jahrbuch” contain, amongst other papers, one by C. W. C. Fuchs, on the mechanical and chemical changes which lava undergoes in passing from the fluid to the solid state; and another by G. Tschermak on the problems of mineralogical chemistry. We have also descriptions of various minerals by Prof, Zirkel, Victor v. Lang, and Richard v. Drasche, and a number of miscellaneous “notices.”
