 species as closely alHed to P. indica from the Upper Gondwana beds- 

 of the Eajmahal Hills. In 1856 Sharpe ■'= described several species 

 of Mollusca from the Secondary rocks of the Sunday and Zwartkop 

 Rivers collected by Dr. Atherstone and Mr. A. G. Bain, which he 

 found to resemble most nearly species from the middle and lower 

 part of the Oolitic series. The Jurassic age of the Uitenhage series 

 is accepted by Stowf in his paper of 1871, and H. P. Blanford I in 

 1875 referred to the flora, on the authority of Tate, as resembling, 

 that of the Eajmahal beds of India. The evidence as to ge
