Extract

In the “Third and Final Report, of the Geological Survey of Natal and Zululand” that has just been published the Cretaceous rocks and their fauna receive considerable attention; Mr. William Anderson, F.G.S., the Government Geologist, gives an excellent summary (pp. 47–64) of all the information he had been able to obtain respecting the Cretaceous rocks of Natal and Zululand, and there are two contributions on the fauna of some Cretaceous deposits in Zululand, one by Mr. R. Etheridge and the other by the present writer. Before referring particularly to the Cephalopod fauna of the Cretaceous rocks of Ratal and Zululand it may be of interest to give a brief sketch of the distribution of these rocks as recorded by Mr. Anderson.
