 Part 1. The Cephalopoda of the Loiver Trias. By Carl Diener, 

 Ph.D., University of Vienna. Pages 181 ; plates i.-xxiii. Folio. 

 Calcutta : Geol. Survey Office. London : Kegan Paul & Co. 



In 1879 C. L. Griesbacli (now Director of the Geological Survey of 

 ludi i) discovered, near the Kiti Pass, the Otoceras beds, which 

 contain the oldest Cephalopod-fauiia of the Buntsaiidstein. They 

 lie just above the Permian Froductus shales, and below shales and 

 limestones, which are overlain by true Muschelkalk. The same 

 observer discovered another Cephalopod-horizon hij;her up in the 

 series, and identical with Diener's " subi-obiistus beds " in the upper 

 part of the Lower Triassic series. In 1892 the surveyors discovered 

 some very characteristic Ammonites in a bed of the same age as the 

 last-mentioned in the Shalshal river-cliff opposite the Eimkin Palar 

 camping-ground, a little below the confluence of the Barahoti and 

 Chorhoti Pavers. Of this section a woodcut-tigure is given at
