Extract

Four years ago M. R. D. M. Verbeek, Director of the Geological Survey of the West Coast, Sumatra, placed in the hands of my friend Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., for description, a collection of fossil remains obtained by him in the prosecution of his geological researches in Central Sumatra, accompanied by some notes and sections of the geology of this little-known region of the globe.
