There are fine marble quarries at Piszke and the neighbouring Almas in the counties of Esztergom and Komarom, as also at various places in the counties of Baranya, Veszprem, Abauj, Szepes, and Lipto. The largest salt-mines are at Ronaszek, Sugatag, and Szlatina in the county of Maramaros, in Hun gary Proper, and at Vizakna, Parajd, Torda, Deesakna, and Maros- ujv ar in Transylvania. In 1877 the value of the salt produced was 12,369,599 florins, of other minerals 18,787,757 florins. The yearly worth of the whole mining produce of the Hungarian realm is estimated at over 3,000,000, of which, however, the amount attributable to Croatia and Slavoniais comparatively small. There are several hundred cold and 64 warm mineral springs in Hungary Proper and in Croatia and Slavonia, whilst a relatively greater number are met with in Transylvania. Of warm springs the most famous are those of Buda, Mehadia, Eger (Erlau), Nagyvarad (Grosswardein), Sztubnya, Szliacs, Harkany, Posteny, Krapina, and Teplitz. Among the cold mineral springs the more worthy of note are those of Suliguly, Borszek, Bartfa, Czigelka, Szulin, Parad, Koritnicza, and Szalatnya; the Buda kcserii viz (bitter water) is also much prized, and largely exported.

In 1868 Transylvania was definitively re- political united to Hungary Proper, and the town and district of Fiume divisions, declared autonomous. In 1873 the Servian-Banat or Eastern Mili tary Frontier was incorporated with Hungary Proper. In 1876 the whole administrative subdivision of Hungary into counties, dis tricts, and sees was revised, and for the sake of uniformity one general system of counties was introduced, except for the Croatian- Slavonian Military Frontier, which is divided into border districts. The total number of subdivisions amounts to 80, of which 65 appertain to Hungary Proper and Transylvania, 1 to Fiume and district, 8 to Croatia and Slavonia, and 6 to the Croatian-Slavonian Military Frontier. Hungary Proper, according to ancient usage, is generally divided into four great divisions or circles, and Tran sylvania has since 1876 been regarded as the fifth. Neither numerically nor according to territorial extent are the present 65 counties distributed equally among their respective circles, which must be regarded as geographical rather than political divisions, for they are not recognized in the judicial, fiscal, military, postal, and administrative relations of the country. 2 The circles are Cis-Damibia (north and east of the Danube), containing 13 counties : Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kis-Kun, Bacs-Bodrog, Nograd, Hont, Esztergom, Bars, Zolyom, Lipto, Arva, Thurocz, Trencsen, Nyitra, Pozsony. Trans-Danubia (south and west of the Danube), 11 counties: Moson, Sopron, Gyor, Komarom, Feher, Veszprem, Vas, Zala, Somogy, Baranya, Tolua. Cis-Tisia 3 (north and west of the Theiss), 11 counties: Szepes, Gornor and Kis-Hont, Heves, Jasz-Nagy-Kun-Szolnok, Borsod, Torna, Abauj, Saros, Zemplen, Ung, Bereg. Trans-Tisia (south and east of the Theiss), 15 counties: Maramaros, Ugocsa, Szatmar, Szilagy, Szabolcs, Hajdii, Bihar, Bekes, Csanad, Csongrad, Arad, Torontal, Temes, Krasso, Szb reny, Trans-Kirdlyhiigd, or Transylvania, 15 counties : Also-Feher, Besztercze-Naszod, Brasso, Csik, Fogaras, Haromszek, Hunyad, Kis-Kiikulli), Kolozs, Maros-Torda, Nagy-Kiikullo, Szeben, Szolnok- Doboka, Torda-Aranyos, Udvarhely. In the following list of divisions the foreign forms of the names of towns are given which are most frequently met with in the German and English press. Not being recognized offici ally, these are falling into disuse in Hungary. 1 In good years tbe total produce of the vines for the whole of Hungary may be estimated at 390 million gallons, in ordinary years at 227, and in bad years at 91 million gallons. 2 The four circles of Hanpary Proper had formerly their special political sig nificance, owing to the so-called &quot; circular sittings,&quot; where the deputies of each of the, four circles met for the preliminary discussion of parliamentary questions. 3 Formerly, but incorrectly Cis-Tibisca.
