It is worth while mentioning that a parowl of al-fossils from the Sarawak beds was forwart oto me for my inspection. I examined them hastily at Singapore, whers I had neither bools nor specimens for comparison. The conclusion that I then came to was that the curl was not tertiary. There were fossils compliar like thao hich are found in the Noronsila beds. I balieve that I was able to identify a vartobraria and a phyllothona, vory al wely allied to the same faels in New South Wales. But bus could wish for more satisfactory evitense of connection betoon the beds. Vertebraria, being a root, has innoient details for minuto identification, sad pbyliothea is a plant with little or no aba racteristic festures as generally preserved. regret to add that the specimens have semshow missarried, and I canuyt refer to them now. I have no doubt that in das time, other spocima will be sent to me; but I regrat mark sf all that I was unable to accept the sordial invitation of the Government to visit and report upon their mines.
