Abstract

My attention has been called to some fossils in the Museum
of the Society, which are alleged to have been collected close
to the sea-side at Table Cape. They were presented to the
Society by Dr. Milligan, and consist of remains taken, as far
as I can judge, from three different deposits. In perusing
the transactions of your Society, I do not find that an attempt
has yet been made to determine the relations of these beds
to similar deposits in Australia. Neither can I learn that a
classification of the imbedded remains has been attempted.
The following observations on the subject may, therefore, be
of some little value.
