Close to the town there were thick layers of calcareous sediment, containing petrified reeds or canes, of which I brought away specimens for our museum.
I found them to be the hard polished calcareous opercula of some species of Turbo, and although their worn state precludes the idea of identifying the species, yet I am confident that they belong to no European Turbo.
Other soils, such as absorbent calcareous earth, are not often found.
In the subsoil a sandy clay abounds, the occurrence of clay and calcareous earths being greater in the subsoil than in the soil.

The calcareous flag-stone of La Tosca, which is characteristic of the south-west province of the plain of the Pampa, stretches in the south as far as the Rio Negro in the coast-district.
The tosca is the result of the concentration of calcareous elements contained in clay at the surface in a dry climate.
The clays are comparatively rich in calcareous matter, which seems to indicate that they do not come from tropical America or the upper basin of the Parana.

There are two kinds of hot springs in the park, called siliceous and calcareous from the character of their deposits.
Yeast has no action on malate of lime, or on othercalcareous salts formed by vegetable acids.
If the action of yeast consists in its increase and multiplication, it is difficult to conceive this action in the case of malate of lime and other calcareous salts of vegetable acids.
I have shown that malate of lime ferments readily enough through the action of yeast, and that it splits up into three other calcareous salts, namely, the acetate, the carbonate and the succinate.
