IV.—Geological Notes from the Neighbourhood of Cairo

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

This neighbourhood has already been described by several authors, —the most complete account of the Tertiary beds being by Dr. Fraas, Aus dem Orient, 1867. Dr. Figari Bey, in vol. i. of Studi Scientifici sull' Egitto; H, Bauerman, Esq., and Dr. C. Le Neve Foster, in the Quart Journ. Geol. Soc. 1869, vol. xxv. p. 40, have also written on the district, the latter observers referring especially to the occurrence of Celestine in the Moccattam quarries.
