1 To the occurrences of Cenomanian rocks described by Zittel are added two new ones, situated in Egypt proper. The first lies on the east of the Nile at Gebel Chebrewet; the second, situated on the west of the Nile, is that of the Oasis of Baharia in the midst of the Eocene plateau of the Libyan Desert. The latter also shows wood (Palmoxylon) converted into limonite, and well-preserved impressions of Dicotyledonous leaves in the same matrix. This exposure promises to afford valuable information as to the Chalk-flora of Egypt.
