similar form. Woods noted the resemblance of this form to HypJianto- 

 ceras reussianum, d'Orbigny sp. ; H. flexiiosum, Schluter sp.,* and 

 H. sp. nov. (= Heteroceras sp. in Woods), t are other species of 

 the genus Hyphantoceras that show superficial resemblance, but are 

 of Turonian age. 



The example is distinguished from the B. ? sp. rnd., found at Uinkwe- 

 lane Hill (p. 255), by having coarser costation and four, not three, 

 intermediate ribs, so that at a similar whorl-height the flares are 

 about twice as far apart in the present form .

EAST AERICA.+ 



The three Ammonites from this locality (Nos. 5117-19) are pre- 

 served, as casts, in a light yellowish -grey, calcareous sandstone, and 

 two of them show portions of the test. This matrix, stained yellow 

 with rust in places, is not unlike the lighter-coloured portions of the 

 calcareous sandstones of Umkwelane Hill, and apparently is similar 

 to that of the Aptian fauna of Delagoa Bay, recorded by Kilian and 

 described by Krenkel.|| 



The three forms described below are 

 Aconeceras nisoides, Sarasin sp. 

 Gheloniceras yottachei, Kilian sp. 



Cheloniceras (Acanthoplites V) delayoense, Kreukel sp. 

 The assemblage, thus, is the same as that recorded from Delagoa 

 Bay, of the same sandy, littoral facies, and undoubtedly of Aptian 

 age. Dr. Kitchin^[ has already referred to this Aptian fauna from 

 Delagoa Bay in his important memoir on the Uitenhage Beds. 



Krenkel was of opinion that the Bedoulian (Lower Aptian) as well

I When writing this account, the aiithor was under the impression that 

 Powell's Camp was in Zululaiid, but it now appears that though its exact posi- 

 tion and the meaning of " Upper Catembe " are unknown, it may be in the 

 neighbourhood of Delagoa Bay, Catembe being marked on Jeppe's map as being 

 on the right bank of the Tenibe river, some five miles from the mouth.
