Abstract
A SMALL collection of fossils from the neighbourhood of Albert Nyanza has recently been sent for determination to the British Museum by Mr. E. J. Wayland, director of the Geological Survey of Uganda. The beds from which these remains were derived are of late Pliocene or, more probably, Pleistocene age, since they include teeth of Hippopotamus and Phaco-chcerus which do not seem to be distinguishable from those of recent forms: with these are bones of crocodiles, Chelonia, a large Siluroid fish, and fresh-water shells.
