Petroleum.Proanoinz Strata. The interesting fact appeare to be nova well esteblished that petroleum -producing strata do not always belong to the same geological period. Thu; in Kentnolxy and Tenneseee, the petroleum is turnithed by the lower siturian stratum, diet is, by the most ancient atratified rooks ; in Upper Canada tt is found in the lower Devonian,, and in Pennsylvania in the upper Devonian. The springs of western Virginiaafiow from. the upper carboniferous strata; isa Connecti- cub and North Carolina coal oil is found in the tries; in Celorrdo and Utah in the lignites of the ereteceous formation, while the oll.producing regions of California, belong to the tertiary period. le le stated as 8 remarkable fact that moat. of the deposits :of the ancient world exists in comparatively recent tertiary forme - tions, as, for instance, those of oil -impregnat- ed sands of Alsace, of the south of Franc; and of Abruzzi.). and Emilia, in Italy. There are numerous deposits in Galicia end the Danubian provinces dmilarly placed, while the strata that contain those of the Crimea, the Caucasus, and the 'eland of Taman are of nearly the same geological epoch.
