 Coniferous wood. 



The lowest fossiliferous beds seen on the Witte Eiver 

 contain Onychiopsis mantelli, but the beds containing conif- 

 erous wood and reptilian bones in the Bezuidenhout's 

 Kiver are probably lower than these. A section taken 

 in an approximately north-east direction along the 

 Bezuidenhout's and Witte Rivers from one side of 

 the Uitenhage deposits to the other is by no means 

 similar towards each end, owing to the much greater 

 development of the conglomerates along the Zuur- 

 bergen. 



THE SUNDAY'S EIVEE BEDS. 



The plant-bearing beds pass upwards into bluish 

 rocks containing marine fossils, but the whole of the 

 passage beds is not exposed along the Sunday's River ; 

 the lowest marine fossils above the Dunbrody plant 

 beds are Ostrea, Perna atherstoni, Mytilus uitenhagensis, 

 Cyprina rugnlosa, Psammobia atherstoni, Turbo atherstoni, 

 T. rogersi, T. minutulus, Aetceonina atherstoni, Pecten
