Professors Piotet and Favre. — ^Professor Pictet is of the department of zoology and comparative anatomy; Professor Favre is the geologist These gentlemen, who are among the most eminent and enlightened citizens of Geneva, kindly attended the geologists of our party on an excursion near the city« The Saleve mountains and their granite boulden, were our immediate object Within three or four miles of Geneva, on the east, rises a ridge of naked, mountain rock, 3000 feet higher than the lake and 40...00 above the sea. It is in two divisions, called the greater and the lesser Saleve. The mountains themselves are composed of limestone, belonging to the era of the chalk, and Oolite and Jura limestone. * * The elongating pole is — ^ the concave one +. The Salbve Mountains. 217 In the direction towards the city the sides of the Saleve are perpendicular except the talus of ruins. Our excursion was highly satisfactory. We found numerous boulders of unques- tionable protogine granite, lying upon the top ridge of the mountain and upon the eastern and southern slope, looking towards the Mont Blanc range.
