Umsinene River. — The "Third Keport" contains a further 
memoir on some Cretaceous fossils by Mr. Etheridge, the specimens 
being obtained from " The Umsinene Eiver Deposit." This locality 
and the character of the beds are described by Mr. Anderson on 
p. 58 of the Eeport as follows : The name given to these beds " does 
not describe accurately the position of the deposit from which the 
fossils that are described came, but owing to the fact that there are 
four fossiliferous deposits all in a small portion of the Manuan 
Creek basin, the name ' Umsinene deposit ' refers to the deposit 
occurring immediately to the north of the crossing of the most 
southerly tributary of the Manuan Creek." 
*' The outcrop of the ' Umsinene Deposit ' is of limited extent, and 
is exposed chiefly in the bed of the southernmost tributary of the 
Manuan Creek, and on the rising ground to the north of it, and it 
again appears where the wagon-track crosses the next spruit to the 
north. The rock is a calcareous, argillaceous, fine-grained sand- 
stone of a brownish colour, with fossils scattered sparingly 
through it." 
From an examination of these fossils Mr. Etheridge f (p. 89) 
concludes that ''the general facies of the Umsinene fossils resembles 
that of the Umkwelane Hill bed ; I am induced, therefore, to regard 
them simply as horizons in one and the same geological series." 
The fossils are described in the following order : — 
ECHINODERMATA. 
Hemiaster {?) sp. 
ANNELIDA. 
Serpula pinchiniana, Tate 
var. umsinenensis, var. nov. 
* This Cephalopod is included here to make the list more complete, having 
been described and figured by Mr. G. C. Crick, subsequent to the publication of 
Mr. Etheridge's monograph, see Anderson's "Third and Final Keport," 1907, 
pi. 15, fig. 9, p. 228.
