II.—On Bubalus Bainii (Seeley)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Very little is known in England of the Tertiary deposits of South Africa. Some marine beds are found, as at Bathurst, where the limestone is full of teeth of Carchadon and Lamna, and shells of Turritella Ostrea, Donax, and Lucina. The shells are preserved in the Albany Museum. I was informed that these beds are 300 to 400 feet above the sea. The teeth shown to me in their worn, polished, yellowish tone rather recalled the condition of Red Crag fossils.
