Abstract
A new genusBosostrea and its five species are described. Among other oyster species already known from elsewhere but now found occurring in the Bagh Beds,Cameleolopha cameleo (Coq.) is of particular interest bearing on the age of these beds as it comes from the Cenomanian of Algeria, andLopha (Actinostreon) semiplana (Sow.) is of interest as a species widely occurring in the Mediterranean Palaeo-Zoo-Geographic Province.
