1870.] HtTLKE EEPTILIAN FOSSILS FROM GOZO. 33 



Capt. Spbatt expressed a doubt of the fossil having really come 

 from Gozo. He did not recognize the cretaceous-looking matrix 

 as belonging to any of the rocks of that island, with all of which 

 he was acquainted. The nearest approach to that kind of rock 

 was to be found in the lowest of the deposits near Cairo, which 

 were probably Eocene. 



Prof. T. EtrpERT Jones suggested an examination of the Forami- 

 nifera in the matrix, with the view of determining its Secondary or 

 Tertiary age. He mentioned the occurrence of rolled nodules of 

 older rocks in beds of later age at Gozo. 



Mr. BtrsK stated that a stone of similar character to the matrix 

 occurred in Malta, if not in Gozo, but probably in both, 



Mr. HuLKE, in reply, observed that he had in his paper inten- 

 tionally left the stratigraphical part of the question untouched, and 

 confined himself to the palseontological aspect of the remains.
