On Cretaceous Cephalopoda from Zululand. 307 



Brazilian Continent.* That the latter Avas still in existence in 

 Upper Senonian times appears to be indicated by the extremely close 

 resemblance of the Kossmaticeras-bedLs of Pondoland with those of 

 Antarctica, Southern Patagonia, Chili and New Zealand, all of which 

 are largely made up of glauconitic, calcareous sandstones, and 

 apparently pass uninterruptedly into the lowest tertiaries.f 



The lower Albian beds (Clausayes horizon) that bridge over 

 the gap between the Aptian fauna of Powell's Camp and the mam- 

 mill at it m-zone of the "Umsineue River deposit," if present at all, have 

 not yet yielded Ammonites. 



IV. AMMONOIDEA FROM ISOLATED LOCALITIES. 

 A. NORTH-WEST SHORE OF FALSE BAY. 



The present collection only includes two specimens from this loeality 

 (Coll. W. J. Wybergh) namely : 



Mortonicerqs vamixemi, Morton sp. 



Bostrychoceras ? sp. 



They are preserved in a brownish, marly sandstone, very friable, and 

 thus different from the matrix of Crick's Cenomauian fauna, but this 

 difference may partly be due to Aveatheriug. On the other hand, M. 

 vamixemi can definitely be dated as Campaniau (zone, of M. delawa- 

 rense),+ and the other specimen, as well, is comparable Avith a Pondoland 

 form, considered by Woods to be of Campanian age. The outcrops of 

 these beds along the north-western edge of False Bay are referred to by 

 Mr. W. Anderson in the Second and Third Reports || of the Geological 

 Survey of Natal and Zululand. Crick^f assumed that this Avas the 

 locality from which the fossils \vere obtained that he described under 

 the title of " The Cephalopoda from the Deposit at the North End of 

 False Bay, Zululand." According to Mr. W. Anderson, hoAvever,** 

 these Cenomanian Ammonites came from the river-bank near the

 islands or a continent connecting Brazil with Africa from a study of the 

 existing flora.
