FOOTE : GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE EASTERN COAST, 



List of fossils found. 



The following list of the organic remains, both vegetable 



animal, shows their nature, but only in a pre- 

 liminary manner, as complete lists can only be 

 drawn up after close examination of the entire collection now in the 

 Museum at Calcutta. The list of animal remains, indeed, must be 

 accepted merely as a rough field list, as no opportunity offered for any 

 close examination or comparison before the collection was shipped to 

 Calcutta. 



Further examination and excavation of the shales will doubtless add 

 very considerably to the number of fossils now known to occur in the 

 Vemavaram beds.
