Abstract
1.The Thessalian Olympus.—In treating of the geology of Greece, as determined by a recent survey, Herr M. Neumayr, in the Proceed. Imper. Acad. Sciences, Vienna, July 17, 1879, describes this mountain-group as having a north and south direction, and consisting of a somewhat flattened dome of strata, with a subordinate syncline on the west. The limits on both sides are defined by lines of fracture. The constituent rocks are schists, of many kinds, with enormous intercalated limestones, at some places 3,000 metres thick. These latter are partly saccharoidal, partly semicrystalline, and some times nearly compact. In the last variety there are, in some localities numerous indeterminable organic remains.
