Extract

For many years this portion of Egypt had remained a blank so far as its geological structure was concerned, and when the geological map of Egypt was issued by the Survey Department in 1910 this extensive area was deliberately left uncoloured. Efforts were made by the writer to interest the various parties which were mapping the topography of this region, but the fossils submitted by them only indicated the presence of beds of Upper Cretaceous age, including a facies identical with that developed in the Abu Roash hills near Cairo.

page 339 note 3 Owing to the death of M. Fourtau since these words were written, it is uncertain how far this can le fulfilled, but every effort will be made to publish the work in so far as it was completed by this indefatigable and enthusiastic student, whose early loss to science we lament.
