Cretaceous Gastropoda, and Pelecypoda from Zululand. 11 
Further south, the province of Mtunha, 81 kilometres S.W. of 
Dar-es-Salam (on the coast), has yielded remains of Badiolites cf. 
angeoides, Lamarck, which are regarded as of Senonian age. 
Near Minguina-Bache, 27 kilometres W.N.W. of the costal town 
of Kilwa Kwindye, Turonian rocks have been determined, from the 
occurrence in them of the genus Monopleiira. 
Still further south, at Mtshinga, Ntandi, the Litshibu Plateau, 
&c., Neocomian beds occur containing Trigonia ventricosa, Krauss, 
Ostrea minos, Coquand, Gervillia dentata, Krauss, Vola atava, F. A. 
Eomer sp., Gardium cottaldimtm, Orbigny, Plioladomya gigantea, 
J. de C. Sowerby, Belemnites hinervius, Easpail, &c., &c. These 
deposits are of corresponding age to those of the Uitenhage district 
of Cape Colony. 
Portuguese East Africa. 
Gonducia (Mozambique area). — Beyond the limits of Zululand, 
the littoral regions of Portuguese East Africa in the north as well as 
those characterising Natal and Pondoland in the south have been 
long known to possess Cretaceous strata. The late Professor 
Neumayr figured and described, probably, the earliest known 
Cretaceous fossil from Portuguese Africa under the name of 
Phylloceras semistriatwm of Orbigny, the specimen having been 
collected by Peters in 1843 from rocks near the mouth of the 
river Conducia, opposite the small island of Mozambique, in the 
Indian Ocean. Beyrich, who was familiar with this Ammonoid, 
regarded it as of probably Neocomian age, the same horizon being 
adopted by Neumayr in his published account. A more complete 
fauna from the same area of Portuguese Africa has since been 
described by M. Paul Choffat.f This consists chiefly of Cephalo- 
poda, among the specimens being some fragmentary remains of 
Neumayr' s P. semistriatum, associated in the same matrix with 
a form of Pachydiscus conduciensis, Choffat, and which is deter- 
mined as Phylloceras cf. semistriatum, d' Orbigny. Choffat remarks 
on certain resemblances existing between Peters' specimen and 
Stoliczka's Phylloceras velleclce from the Utatur group of Southern 
India. Mr. G. C. Crick ]: has quite recently recognised P. velledce 
in the Cenomanian rocks of the north end of False Bay, Zululand,
