FOSSILS FKOM PERIM ISLAND. 



the statement is founded ; and as the Geological Society 

 possesses the largest collection of Perim Island fossils to 

 which I have had access, including remains of most of the 

 species to be noticed in the sequel, the pages of its journal 

 are the fittest place for this communication, the main object, 

 indeed, of which is to do justice to the meritorious labours 

 of Captain Tulljames, of the Bombay Engineers, one of the 

 earliest and most successful explorers of the ossiferous beds 

 of Perim Island. This is the more called for, as considerable 

 delay has occurred in the description and determination of 

 the remains which that officer collected and transmitted to 

 England several years ago.
