A description is furnished of Trigonia (Scabrotrigonia) itongazi, a new species of Trigonia
from the Upper Cretaceous Beds, occurring between the Itongazi and Umkandandhlovu
Rivers, Alfred County, Natal. Its characteristic features are discussed.
In June 1944 Professor T. W. Gevers came on an occurrence of fossiliferous Upper
Cretaceous beds at a locality along the South Coast of Natal between the Itongazi
and Umkandandhlovu river mouths. This occurrence was described in 1945 (3).
The fossils then collected were identified by the writer. The form listed as Trigonia
itongazi sp. nov. is now described below.
