Das Palæogen) Zeitschr. d. Deutsch. Geolog. Gesellschaft, Jahrg. 1900, p. 446, has determined this as _T. tenuistriata_. He refers to these beds as corresponding to the Tafla of Jebel Mokattam, but I regard them as probably representing a considerably lower horizon.] [Footnote 43: The nummulites from the Birket el Qurûn series have not yet been critically examined. There appear to be several species present, including _N. Beaumonti_, _N. Sub-Beaumonti_, _N. Fraasi_ and _N. Schweinfurthi_. In the Zeuglodon Valley, 12 kilom. W.S.W. of Gar el Gehannem, occasional individuals of _N. gizehensis_ occur in the basal beds. As there appears to be some doubt whether the four smaller nummulites mentioned above are specifically distinct we shall not attempt to discriminate too closely in the present report.] [Footnote 44: SCHWEINFURTH, op. cit. p. 139.] [Footnote 45: ZITTEL, Palæontographica N.F.X. 3 (XXX) _Die Versteinerungen der tertiäre Schichten von der westlichen Insel im Birket el Qurun See_, von Prof. Karl Mayer-Eymar.] [Footnote 46: It must be mentioned here, however, that more recently Mayer-Eymar speaks (_Nouvelles Recherches sur le Ligurien et le Tongrien d’Égypte_, Bull. Inst. Égypt., April, 1894, p. 216) of the Mokattam beds above Qasr el Sagha, some 100 metres higher in the series, as Parisian, but does not explain these two conflicting determinations. It seems quite certain, however, that these island beds are of Parisian age, and not Bartonian as stated by him.] [Footnote 47: _Lucina pharaonis_, Bell., (_L. pomum_, May.
