PROCEEDINGS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [vol. lxxii, 



having stood about 15 'feet at the highest part of the hack, or 

 more than 3| feet higher than the large African Elephant mounted 

 in the Entrance Hall of the Natural History Museum. 



The molar teeth show conclusively that the species represented 

 is JSleplias antiquus ; and, from the thickness of the enamel and 

 some other characters, it may he inferred that the animal was 

 probably of a type as early as. or earlier than, that found at Grra3 r s. 

 It is the first British example of this species in which the skeleton 

 has been found directly associated with the teeth. 



Lantern-slides and remains of JElepTias were exhibited. 



A short discussion followed, and the cordial thanks of the 

 Fellows present were expressed to Dr. Andrews for his lecture. 



Mr. G-. C. Crick exhibited two Nautili from the Upper 

 Cretaceous rocks of Zulu land. Each showed approximation 

 of the last three septa, indicative of the comparatively-sudden 

 arrest of growth of the animal and of the accompanying forward 

 movement of the animal in its shell, a character usually attributed 

 to senility. One specimen showed also irregularities of depth in 

 the other chambers of the camerated part of the shell. 



November 17th, 1915. 



Dr. A. Smith Woodward, F.B.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



Charles Albert Edward Fenner, B.Sc, Principal of the School 

 of Mines, Ballarat (Victoria) ; Montagu Austin Phillips, F.L.S., 

 Devonshire House, Beigate Hill, Beigate (Surrey) ; and John 

 Edward Maddock Pritchard, B.A., 1 Sloane Court, S.W., were 

 elected Fellows of the Society. 



The List of Donations to the Library was read. 



Mr. John Parkinson gave an account (illustrated by specimens 

 and lantern -slides) of some observations on the Structure of 

 the Northern Frontier District and Jubaland Provinces 

 of the East African Protectorate, made by him while 

 conducting a water-supply survey for the Government of the 

 Protectorate. A floor of gneisses and schists, among which the 

 Turoka Series of metamorphosed sediments was found at several 

 places, is overlain on the western side by lavas, including those 

 arising from the volcanoes Kulal, Assi (' Esie ' of the maps), Hurri, 

 Marsabit, etc., and by probably older lava-fields, which together 

 extend as far as longitude 39° E. On the south, it was found 

 that the lavas north of Kenya reached the Guaso Nyiro, leaving 

 ' inselberge ' of the crystalline rocks in their midst, but that a 

 high gneiss country extended north-westwards from latitude 1° N.
