Extract

Two well-preserved Teleostean fishes from the Eocene Limestone of Tura, between Heluan and Cairo, have been submitted to me by Dr. W. F. Hume, Director of the Geological Survey of Egypt. They apparently represent new species, but, like most fishes of Eocene age, they are remarkably modern in type, and one seems to be referable to an existing genus. With them were found remains of two species of Percoid fishes, which are scarcely sufficient for exact determination.
