196 THE BALKAN PENINSULA<br />

(Renz, 1910, p. 599). The outcrops occur especially in the Ionian Isles of<br />

Corfu, Leucas, Cephalonia and Ithaca, and on the adjoining mainland<br />

of Epirus and Acarnania (fig. 21). (For comprehensive summaries see<br />

Renz, 1909, 1910, 1913; for Epirus 1913, 1925a, 1927; for Acarnania,<br />

19116, 1925; for Cephalonia, 19136; for Kalamos, 1932a; for Leucas,<br />

1905a, 1911a, 1936; for Ithaca, 1911; for Corfu, 1906, 1910, 1926.)<br />

TITHONIAN AND KIMERIDGIAN<br />

Under Cretaceous Rudistid limestones, Eocene limestones and flysch,<br />

is a thick series of flaggy limestones and shales with chert, the Viglaes<br />

Beds, called after Viglaes Mountain on Corfu. They may embrace most<br />

of the Upper Jurassic and part of the Lower Cretaceous, but all the fossils<br />

hitherto recorded are Tithonian and Kimeridgian. The only common<br />

macroscopic fossils are aptychi: A. lamellosus (Park.), A. punctatus (Voltz),<br />

A. beyrichi Oppel, A. latus (Park.), A. laevis Meyer, A. obliquus Quenst.<br />
