On the second of July, the mountain of Hausruck, in Upper Austria, disappeared and gave place to a lake. This mouatain was of great elevation and gave its name to the country around. Oa the 4th of the same month, the very opposite of this phenomenon occurred in Italy. An astonishing noise was heard in the territory of Ferentino ; after which the waters of the lake of Porciano suddenly disappeared and left their ancient bed quite dry. Eastward, of this lake, at the foot of a neighboring mountain, they discover- ed an enormous chasm, produced by some violent commotions down which the waters had precipitated themselves into certain cubterrancan caverns which now serve as their receptacle. In the month of Angust, another dis- placement, owing without doubt to the coal or sulphurous matters, happened near Salsbourg, in Bavaria, on the border of the Saiza.
