' ' This list shows that the flora cannot be well tahen as the representa- 

 tive o£ the Rajmahal group proper, and as the shales o£ Ragavaj)uram 

 overlie the Gollapili beds (true Rajmahal group), the flora of the former 

 may be considered of somewhat younger date.

 form of Ammonites, which is also found in the Sripermatur group, and 

 in the shales from the Nellore-Kistna district ; then Lccla, Mytilus, and 

 some others, which are ill-preserved and can hardly be determined speci- 

 fically, and a specimen which can hardly be distinguished from Trigonia 

 interl&vigata" 1
