Abstract:

A Burdigalian (Lower Miocene) marine fauna from Uloa, Zululand, is described. It is of warm-water environment and indicates, in comparison with the modern fauna, a slow rate of organic evolution for the region. It is Indo-Pacific in type, comparing very closely with Tertiary faunas of East Africa and India, but is at variance with Tertiary faunas from the Cape Province.
