Note 68 — PART III.

It is not intended to convey the impression that remains of all these vertebrates were found at the point where the actual line of section runs. As a matter of fact at that particular point only Palæomastodon remains were observed, while most of the others were obtained some distance further west. Remains of Mœritherium, probably identical with M. Lyonsi, of the Qasr el Sagha series, in the shape of a beautifully-preserved and almost complete skull, associated with Palæomastodon and Arsinoitherium in these same beds, I only discovered in January 1903, at a point nearly due north of the western end of the Birket el Qurûn. A preliminary description of this skull has been published by Andrews, Further Notes on the Mammals of the Eocene of Egypt; Geol. Mag. Dec. V. Vol. I. No III. March 1904, pp. 109-115.
