Mr. Kcenig has found it extensively in the sienitic tract of Jeraey'; s]here blocks of a pudding-stone, bearing some re.mblance to the green breccia of Egypt, were found to be composed of compact epidote, including very large peb- terrains intermedlaires COClUilller, formes du g,t,aumaeke-se&istoide et de piefie e/esire. 1 �s terrains ts-s'eens, compos c argile sablonneuse et fes'rug/neuse, avee godes de fes' et du bo/s foss//e,  difirens s.
