At Tullear, on tlie west coast, Pacliydiscus colligatus has been 

 found. 



The discovery of Senonian deposits in Madagascar has obviously 

 an important bearing on the question of a land connection between 

 South Africa and Southern India which many writers believe to have 

 existed at this period. In connection with this subject, attention 

 may be called to the resemblance which Pervinquiere '■■ has shown 

 to exist between the Upper Cretaceous faunas (especially the 

 Senonian) of Tunis and Southern India, which resemblance he 

 considers can be explained only by a direct marine communication 

 between the two regions. The absence of this land barrier would 

 account more readily for the resemblance between the faunas of 

 Southern India and those of Central Europe, than if the migration 

 took place by way of South Africa as supposed by Kossmat.j 



Deposits of tlie same age as that of Pondoland, and possessing 

 more or less similar faunas, have been found in Assam, Borneo, 

 Yesso (Hokkaido), Vancouver Island (Nanaimo Group), California 

 (upper part of Chico Series), and Quinquina (Chili).
