Abstract
The rich invertebrate fauna of the Uitenhage Series has long attracted attention, owing to the conspicuous nature of some of its components and the divergence of opinion which has arisen in the various attempts to bring it into correlation with Secondary faunas in the European area. A recent examination of the fossils collected from the Uitenhage Beds by the Geological Survey of Cape Colony has afforded an opportunity of reconsidering, in the light of extended knowledge, the conclusions of those who have previously studied this question of correlation. A comparative study of the fauna, with an account of some new species, based principally upon the materials collected by the members of the Survey, will shortly be contributed to the fourth volume of the “Annals of the South African Museum”; but in the meantime, the following brief notes, in which are embodied some of the principal results, may be of interest to a wider circle of readers.
