jects are of much morepermanent value, and it is probably for these that he will be bestremembered. He has, in fact, been recently described as a palaeogeographer rather than a palaeontologist, but this he wouldprobably have regarded as a slurring limitation on his favouritebranch of science. Neumayrs qualifications for the discussion ofquestions of the physical geography of the past were simply unique,and it is probably here that he will be most missed. Considering thepowerful work of his early manhood, still more brilliant achieve-ments might have been expected from the efforts of his matureryears. But the heart disease that had so long afflicted him struckhim clown in the very prime of life, just when his mastery ofJurassic palaeontology, his thorough acquaintance with stratigraphicalliterature and his sound knowledge of the principles of physicalgeology, seemed most in demand for the solution of the problemsthat he knew so well how to handle.

Since then additional specimens havebeen procured from adjoining districts.2 The general character ofthe facies is fairly similar to that already noticed in 1884; but on thewhole, perhaps, the specimens are scarcely so well preserved.According to the opinion of those who have had most experience,these fossils may be regarded as of Cretaceo-Jurassic age, thoughI am not aware that such undoubted Cretaceous forms as Ancyloceras,etc., have been discovered in the beds whence the fossils for
