PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. .NoV. 18,
another perfect specimen on a former occasion, said to be from
Koumi.
The deposits in the Kastrovalla valley have a dip to the south of
a few degrees, so that in the lower part of the valley the lignite is
again seen, but the whole of the lacustrine beds are overlaid by
beds of brownish sandy marl and gravel, forming low hills and
ridges from 50 to 200 feet in height, extending over a district of
three or four square miles.
These gravelly beds contain no fossils, and in every respect corre-
spond in description and position with those in the island of Samos
before noticed.
Section 4. District of Kastrovalla.
3 2
3. Gravel.
2. Lacustrine beds.
1. Secondary limestone.
s. Serpentine.
t. Trap.
Section No. 4 is on a line nearly north and south through this
district, showing the position of the gravelly beds, and also of trap
ejected through the lacustrine deposits.
I next examined the two shores of the south channel between
Euboea and Greece, on both sides of which I found evidences of the
ancient freshwater lake having existed there also, viz. at the Bay of
Stura in Euboea, where the freshwater deposits and gravel repose
upon mica schists ; but they are not so extensive or so well-deve-
loped as in the district to the south of Oropo, on the confines of
Bceotia and Attica.
Sections. Section near Markopoulo.
Secondary limestone. Lacustrine gravel.
At B. is a band of lignite.
Section No. 5 crosses this district near the village of Markopoulo,
in a line due west from the channel. A narrow strip about seven
miles long and two miles wide lies parallel to the shore, which is com-
posed of deposits closely resembling those at Koumi, even to the pre-
sence of the lignite ; they are however here inclined at a greater angle,
viz. 20°, and repose on or surround the secondary limestone, that
rises into a higher chain of mountains behind, forming Mounts
Parnes and Citheron, which separate Attica from Bceotia.
The gravelly beds also occur here precisely under the circum-

stances and in the same condition as at Koumi, and unconformable to
Date

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
