In the “Third and Final Report, of the Geological Survey of Natal and Zululand” that has just been published the Cretaceous rocks and their fauna receive considerable attention; Mr. William Anderson, F.G.S., the Government Geologist, gives an excellent summary (pp. 47–64) of all the information he had been able to obtain respecting the Cretaceous rocks of Natal and Zululand, and there are two contributions on the fauna of some Cretaceous deposits in Zululand, one by Mr. R. Etheridge and the other by the present writer. Before referring particularly to the Cephalopod fauna of the Cretaceous rocks of Ratal and Zululand it may be of interest to give a brief sketch of the distribution of these rocks as recorded by Mr. Anderson.

page 341 note 1 This name is not given in any of the maps accompanying Mr. Anderson's reports, and has therefore been omitted in the map which is reproduced herewith. It appears to be the stream, flowing from the north, which joins the Umsinene River just before its entrance into False Bay.

page 343 note 1 The present writer has also recognized (Third Report, 1907, p. 250) from the Umpenyati strata an example of Schlæbachia umbulazi, a species originally described from the Pondoland deposits.
page 344 note 1 This tributary is not named in the map accompanying this paper: from Mr. Anderson's description it appears to be the stream which is named the Unywana River in the Geological Sketch-maps of Zululand issued with the First an.l Second Reports respectively.
