Jurassic Mollusca from Arabia. 25 



Arabia appears to be limited to the rocks of Arabia Petraja 

 in the north, mostly the Sinai neighbourliood, where Carboni- 

 ferous, Cretaceous, and Tertiary beds have been distinguished 

 by their fossils, due to the researches of J. W. ISalter, Ralph 

 Tate, Rothpletz, Duncan, Fourtan, &c. Cretaceous fossils 

 are also known from Has Fartak and Ras Sharwen on the 

 south coast, which were first referred to by Dr. H. J. Carter 

 and subsequently recognized by Dr. P. M. Duncan as of 

 Cenomanian age ; while the Tertiary rocks, mostly of 

 Lutetian or Middle Eocene age, are to be found in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Muskat (Ras Ghissa &c.) in the south-eastern 

 corner of the country, which were originally recorded by the 

 late Dr. H. J. Carter, and more recently referred to by 

 Mr. G. C. Crick and myself.
