2 Transactions of the Boyal Society of South Africa. 
were presented to the British Museum with a request from Mr. 
Anderson that they should be critically examined and a published 
report issued upon them — a work which has now been accomplished 
as one of my official duties in the Geological Department of that 
Institution. 
The particular districts of Zululand which have yielded these 
fossils, and which will be presently referred to in detail, are — 
(1) The Tributaries of the Manuan Creek. 
(2) North End of False Bay. 
(3) Umkwelane Hill. 
Mr. Eobert Etheridge has already made us acquainted with a 
Cretaceous fauna from Umkwelane Hill, so that the few specimens 
from that locality found in the present collection are of interest 
as additional species. The same author has also described 
Cretaceous fossils from the Umsinene Eiver district, another area 
of Zululand. 
Beside these contributions, Mr. G. C. Crick, has given us a 
comprehensive account of the Cretaceous Cephalopoda collected 
by Mr. William Anderson from the same districts of Zululand as 
have yielded the specimens described in this report. So far as 
researches have gone, the hitherto published material on this subject 
conclusively proves the presence of Upper Cretaceous rocks in that 
country — a fact fully confirmed by an examination of the present 
collection. 
Before concluding the preliminary statement, I should wish to 
offer my thanks to Mr. Arthur W. Eogers, M.A., Director of the 
Geological Survey of Cape Colony, for the interest he has taken in 
this memoir by arranging for its publication in one of the leading 
scientific journals of South Africa. 
I desire, also, to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. G. C. 
Crick, F.G.S., my colleague at the British Museum (Natural 
History), for his kindness in designing the geological map of the 
littoral areas of Zululand (an adaptation from that originally 
published by Mr. Anderson), in which the Cretaceous regions are 
so well displayed, and which has been reproduced to form the first 
of the plates of my work. 
Considerable praise should likewise be awarded the artist, Mr. 
A. H. Searle, for the beautiful lithographic plates which accompany 
this report.
