V.—On some supposed Pholas-borings from the Shores of Birket el Qurûn, the ancient Lake Moeris, of the Fayûm, Egypt

Abstract

In a review of Mr. H. J. L. Beadnell's important Memoir on the Topography and Geology of the Fayûm Province of Egypt, published by the Egyptian Geological Survey in 1905, I briefly referred in passing to some “curious blocks of sandstone, pierced by numerous borings”, described by the author, and I added, “they appear to be the exact replica of specimens brought home from Lake Tanganyika by Mr. J. E. S. Moore” (p. 519).
