II. — Preliminary Note on some Eeoentlt Discovered Extinct 

 Vertebrates from Egypt. (Part I.) 



By Chas. "W. Andrews, D.Sc, F.G.S., British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 



DURING a recent visit to Egypt, through the kindness of Captain 

 H. G. Lyons, Director-General of the Egyptian Survey, I have 

 on several occasions had opportunities of accompanying members of 

 the Staff of the Geological Survey on collecting expeditions into 

 the Western Desert. 



On one of these journeys I accompanied Mr. H. J. L. Beadnell, 

 F.G.S., to the Fayiim, and we took the opportunity of examining the 

 escarpments of Upper Eocene and Oligocene age in a locality from 

 which Mr. Beadnell had previously obtained some remains of 

 Zeuglodonts and Sirenians. On our first visit it was not until 

 we were about to return to Cairo that any finds of importance were 

 made, but on the last day of our stay a number of interesting 

 specimens were found, including portions of the skeletons of 

 a Sirenian (probably Eotherium cBgyptiacum, Owen),^ of Zeiiglodon 

 (? Z. Osiris, Dames), ^ and of a small ungulate, as well as remains of 

 reptiles (Crocodilia, Chelonia, and Ophidia). On our return to Cairo it 

 was arranged to go back to this rich locality and make as extensive 

 collections as possible. The results of this second visit were very 

 satisfactory, and a number of interesting specimens were obtained. 



The beds from which the remains were collected are, in Mr. 

 Beadnell's opinion, probably of Upper Eocene and Lower Oligocene
