on the north, the Deo Sora on the east and the south, and the 
Juri river on the west. The oldest inhabitants of the locality 
informed me that when they came to settle in the country, the 
plain was overgrown with reeds of different kinds and the 
‘pyaro-land” restricted to a very small area, With the

rock-systems, the age of nist has been more or less definitely 
fixed. Fossil wood has been found i wrimers parts of India, but 
the most saibilins of them is Burma, ! and a considerable impor- 
tance has been given to it in the literature of Burman geology, 
which Dr. Noetling proposed the name “ Irrawadi division.” * 
It is probable that the Lalmai range Pobis gors to the Lower 
Series of the Irrawadi division, 7.e., fossil wood group of Burma, 
ao this correlation is further corro ated by its association with 
nous concretions as described before. The careous
