Carboniferous attains a tliickness of almost 300 m. and contains 

 Fiisulina sp., a characteristic short and swollen form with irregular 

 S|)irals. Tliis limestone is followed above by a younger complex 

 of tuff, tufip-sandstones and black FusulinaAimQ^iouQ. The last rock 

 contains two different forms of FasiiUna, one of which is an ally 

 of F. japonica and probably identical with F. M'ùlleri described 

 by RoMANOWSKY in the third part of his " Materialien zur 

 Geologie des Turkestans", while the other resembles F. breuicula 

 and F. muUiseptata. The above determination of the fossils was 

 made by Schellwien who, however, found no trace of Schwagerina 

 and Doliolina in these limestones. According to Bogdanowich 

 and SuESS,^^ a limestone with Fusullna occurs also at Jatantschi- 

 tag and on the southern flank of Tekelik-tag, eastern Turkestan. 

 The latter regarded it of Moskow stage. 



Salt-range : — The rich fauna of the lower ProductusAixnQ^tone 

 of the Salt-range also contains many forms of Famlina s. s. The 

 total absence of Doliolina and Neoschwagerina in this and other 

 divisions of the Anthracolitic deposits and the corresponding 

 deposits of the Himalayas gives to them an aspect very different 

 from those of China. The species of Fusulina have been described 

 by Schwager,'-' who distinguished the following species : F. hat- 

 taensis Schwager, F. jMÎlensis Schwager, F. longissima Möller, 

 F. sp. indet. The occurrence of F. longissima Möller (this 

 specific identification is sometimes disputed), formerly restricted to 

 Russia, is very important. The fauna accompanying the Fusulina 

 of the Salt-range is too well known to be repeated in this 

 place.
