INDIA. 



It has long been recognized that some of the Upper Gondwana 

 floras of India present several features in common with European 

 Jurassic floras. Feistmantel and others have identified various 

 plants of the Kach and other Indian floras with Lower Oolite 

 species from East Yorkshire, hut it is very prohable that the 

 correspondence between these widely separated floras has been 

 rather underestimated than exaggerated. Fossil plants of the 

 Kach (TJmia) flora were first described by Morris * in Captain Grant's 

 Geology of Cutch, published in 1840, and in more recent years 

 numerous species have been described by Feistmantel 2 and 

 others. 3 The Jabalpur flora, so called from the town of Jabalpur, 

 also contains several elements of a marked Lower Oolite facies. 

 Both the Jabalpur and the Umia floras appear to be approximately 

 of the same age ; in the recent edition of the Geology of India * 

 the latter is compared with the Middle and the former with the 

 Upper Oolite. Several species of the Eajmahal flora also bear 

 a striking resemblance to East Yorkshire types; this flora has 

 been referred to the Liassic period. 



In the following list are included such species as appear to be 

 identical with or at least closely allied to British Inferior Oolite 

 types ; a more detailed comparison is made in several instances 

 in the descriptive part of the Catalogue :
