Moltoni's description appears inadequate for generic or specific identification and the fragment should be reexamined. 3. Psammornis spec, from Arabia Lowe (1933) described the one shell fragment collected by St. John Philby at Shuqqat al Kalfat, about 22° N. The fossil came from an old river bed where it was found associated with remains of fresh- water mollusks. This suggested that pluvial rather than desert conditions existed at the time the shell was deposited. Lowe considered the bird a member of a fauna that occupied the old land surface of Arabia before it became a desert. He measured the thickness of the "considerably sand-. Fig. 1.
