beds, as I have sliovvn, exhibit quite as much evidence of disturbance 

 subsequent to their formation. 



From the list given above of the fossil plants found at Kukkurbit, 

 it will be seen that there are some identifications, not previously known, 

 with the flora of the Eajmahal beds. All the three Palceozamia are found 

 in both series, and of the two ferns, both are, probably, identical with 

 Rajmahal forms .^ 



Of the age of the marine fossils no question can arise. A very large 

 proportion are well known, and typical European species, the remainder 

 are closely allied to European forms, the greater portion being charac- 

 teristically Lower Oolitic. My collections contain several species not 

 included in Mr. Sowerby's lists of Captain Grant^s fossils. As, however, 

 I hope Dr. Stoliczka, who has already examined the collections made by 

 me, will give descriptions of them, and as he will, doubtless, treat the 

 subject of. their representation in the European formations at length, I 

 shall not dwell further on the subject. It is possible that some of the 

 marine intercalations may differ in age, and that the beds of Katrore 

 hill and the Charwar range may be rather more recent than those of the 

 beds bordering the E-unn. 



Before eoncludiug, a few remarks may be made upon the other 

 formations of Cutch. These are the tertiary beds and the nummulitics, 

 the traps and the newer alluvial deposits. 



Tertiary beds and Nummulitics. — It has been shown that the tertiary 

 beds, north of Mandavee, rest upon the traps, and that they contain 

 rolled fragments derived from those rocks. The junction is doubtless 

 quite unconformable. In the part of Cutch which was traversed, no 

 nummulitic limestone occurs^ so that the relations of that rock with the 



* These being only found in small fragments, a positive identification has not been 

 possible, but, so far as they go, the probability is that both are identical with forms occurring 

 in the Rajmahal beds.
