As reported in the Geological Magazine, Vol. LX, 1923, p. 432, fossiliferous Carboniferous rocks were discovered by Messrs. C. Barrington Brown and R. A. Baldry in the Amotape Mountains of North-Western Peru, and their collection (comprising Cephalopoda, Lamellibranchia, Gasteropoda, Brachiopoda, Polyzoa, Crinoidea, etc.) presented to the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. This was augmented in 1924 by the presentation of a further collection made during a new visit to the area. In addition to the kindness of the two field investigators in allowing this fauna to he examined by the author, the latter wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. C. Barrington Brown for drawing most of the figures.
