| Abstract: | The Geology of the Islands is similar, and consists of a considerable portion of the middle division of the Tertiary formation, viz. : the Miocene. The numerous fossils and fine specimens of sharks teeth and Echinodermata which the deposits of these Islands contain, have long attracted the attention of the Collector and Geologist visiting them. .And amongst the former, some have been found nearly 5 inches in length! vestiges of a Gigantic, but fortunately, extinct shark. Of the Echinodermata 8 or 9 Genera have been identified by my friend Professor Forbes, the eminent Paloeontologist, some of which contain 3 and 4 species. [Excerpt] |
