FAJUMIA SCllWEIXFURTIlI.

Class PISCES. 
Remains of Fishes are fairly common in the Qasr-el-Sagha beds, bat are rare 
in the Fluvio-marine (Upper Eocene) series above. The commonest forms from 
the lower horizon are large Siluroids and Sawfishes ; these have been described 
by Dr. E. Stromer so that here it will only be necessary to give a brief account 
and list of the specimens in London and Cairo.

[Neues Jahrb. 1904, vol. i. (Abliandlungen) p. 3.] 
This genus was established by Stromer for the reception of a species of Siluroid of 
which remains are very common in the Qasr-el-Sagha beds. It appears to be allied to 
Arms, one of the chief differences being that the complex vertebra is not fused with 
the skull, there being no subvertebral process at the iunction.
