fragments of a recently discovered fish which, according to Dr. A. 8, 
Woodward, resembles Semdonotus, a characteristic genus of the Trias 
formation. In the same series the author also places those interesting 
Phyllopod remains (Zstheriel/a) which he obtained from the Semanggol 
Range, and which have been described by Professor T. Rupert Jones,’ 
F.R.S., as of Trias age. Reference is also made to the author’s 
discovery of fossils at Singapore, which were described by Mr. R. B. 
Newton and regarded by him as belonging to probably a Middle 
Jurassic horizon.? These particular fossils were found in an estuarine 
deposit, and consisted of marine mollusca (Goniomya, etc.) associated 
with plant-remains (Podozamites), an assemblage of forms resembling 
a facies peculiar to the Upper Gondwana Beds of India and other 
Eastern countries. Without actually placing the Singapore deposits 
in the Tembeling Series, the author acknowledges a similarity of 
structure with that group of beds. 
The author then considers the mutual relations of the ‘ Chert,” 
‘Raub,’ and ‘ Tembeling Series,’ the chief points of which are set out: 
in a table giving the probable equivalents of these deposits in India. 
and various parts of the Malay Archipelago. So important is. this 
table considered as a first attempt to correlate the formations of this 
area that we have ventured to reproduce it on the present occasion 
(p. 566). . 
The ‘ Economic’ part of the report deals chiefly with the gold-mining 
industry and tin-mining. Gold, according to the author, ‘‘is not 
confined to any one rock in the Federated Malay States; but it is 
interesting to note that the greater part of the underground operations 
have been conducted in rocks of the Raub Series, and igneous rocks 
associated with them.” Both alluvial and lode gold occur in the 
F.M. States, although scarcely worth developing under present 
circumstances. Should the jungle be cleared it is possible that the 
gold industry might be more successful. A great amount of 
information is given on the tin-lodes, including their occurrence, 
geological features, etc. 
Throughout the report the author gives numerous references to the 
literature consulted.

R. OSWALD’S “Geology of Armenia,’’ which we noticed in 
these columns but a few months ago, is now out of print and 
unattainable. This is the map to accompany the volume, and the 
little pamphlet issued with it gives a brief sketch of the matter 
contained in detail in the larger work. The map contains the new 
and important surveys made by the author between Trebizond and
