deposit as Desmoceras sp. resembles some of the forms which are 
described from the False Bay deposit as Puzosia, although it does 
not actually agree with any one of them. The fauna of this deposit 
does not include any of the forms which have been recognized in the 
Umkwelane Hill deposit, some 40 miles to the south; nor any of 
those recorded from the Umpenyati strata still further south; nor 
any of the species described from the Cretaceous rocks in Pondoland. 
The relation of the False Bay fauna to that of the Manuan Creek 
deposits, which are only at.a comparatively short distance, is referred 
to below. 
To the north of Zululand Professor Kilian' has recorded the 
oceurrence of an Aptian fauna at Delagoa Bay, but the False Bay 
fauna contains no Aptian forms. Still further to the north, from 
rocks near the mouth of the Conducia River, which debouches into 
the Indian Ocean a little north of Mozambique, M. Paul Choffat* has 
described a fauna composed principally of Cephalopods, the age of 
which he regards as from Vraconnian to Cenomanian. M. Lemoine? 
considers them to be of Cenomanian age. Some of the forms closely 
resemble some of those from the False Bay deposit. 
The fauna from the north end of False Bay is undoubtedly of 
Cenomanian age. 
The Cenomanian fauna which has been recorded, and is being 
described,’ from the north of Madagascar, presents a striking 
resemblance to the False Bay fauna. Several of the species which, 
up to the present, have been characterized, are represented in the 
False Bay deposit, and doubtless when the whole fauna has been 
described the similarity between the two faunas will be very apparent. 
The False Bay fauna also shows great analogy to that of the 
Utatur Group in the Trichinopoli district of Southern India, 
particularly with its Middle and Lower portions. According to 
Dr. Kossmat,® the equivalents of this group are as follows:— 
Upper Utatir=Lower Turonian; Middle Utattir = Upper and 
Middle Cenomanian; Lower Utattr = Lower Cenomanian (Vra- 
connian). 
The False Bay fauna also exhibits analogy to that of the Cenomanian 
of Europe. }
