Dr. R. C. Taylor examined the vein which occurs in metamorphic rocks near Havana, and gives a section (Fig. 8) of the vein as it is exposed in the working of the mine. He says: It was evidently originally an irregular open fissure, terminating upwards in a wedge-like form, having various branches, all ofwhich have been subsequently filled with carbonaceous matter, as if injected from below, and that not by slow degrees, but suddenlyand at once, (j) a J.

DRAWING OF A PIECE OF THE HURONIAN SHALE ENCLOSING THE ALBERTITE VEIN IN NEW BRUNSWICK, SHOWING THE MANNER IN WHICH THE ALBERTITE CLEAVES FROM THE ENCLOSING ROCK. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF PETROLEUM 73 In 18091 made the origin of albertite and allied substances the subject of a paper, (a) in which I discussed the viewsheld by others regarding it and compared them with the observations made in New Brunswick and West Virginiaby Jackson, Wetherell, Lesley, Wurtz, and others, with my own observation of a vein on the coast of California.This latter vein is exposed on the coast west of Santa Barbara, and stands vertical, cutting the Pliocene andrecent sands. With this vein are associated lenticular masses, extending horizontally, from which a sort of talusprojects vertically into the sands beneath. The eruptive origin of these deposits is beyond question. Similar deposits are described by M. Coquand as occurring in Albania, as follows: The bitumen at SeUenitza does not lie in regular beds, but
