Baron Ettingshausen has forwarded to me from Graz a series of papers, relating more especially to the Fossil Floras of the Tertiary Periods. We have been made familiar with these mainly through the translations of the works of Heer, Unger, and De La Harpe; but to most of the readers of this Journal the work and opinions of other continental palaeontologists, such as Ettingshausen, Massalongo, and Saporta, are unknown. It may, therefore, not be out of place, pending the contemplated publication by the Palseonto-graphical Society of a monograph on the British Fossil Eocene Flora, to give in the GeologicalMagazine a brief analysis of their theories.
