These are all perfect specimens, and there is a fair number of each 

 of them ; Ostrea, Lima, Modiola, and Corbicula having" only been pre- 

 viously known from these beds. These specimens were principally got 

 out of the quarried lumps of rock which had been carted from the line of 

 quarries at the head of the shallow valley south of Gowripatnam and 

 laid down near the travellers' bungalow at Pungadi : the rock had 

 become somewhat weathered by being' there left lying out in heaps, and 

 thus the shells were exposed and easier knocked out, There is no doubt, 

 however, that they are all from these intertrappean beds; the one thing 

 not known is their relative position in these beds, though some clue is 

 given to this in the account I have given of the few shells obtained 

 in situ. 



On the Rajahmundry side, or left bank of the Godavari, and about 



2 miles along the road to Korekonda, there is 

 Kateru outcrop. 



a low headland of basalt overlooking the alluvial 



flat to the north, at the base of which a long line of quarries has been 

 sunk in beds of yellow and buff limestone. These quarries are in the 

 form of a long trench which has been unfortunately filled up in great 

 part by the discarded debris of the calcareous rocks, so that the bottom 

 of the outcrop is always covered up, and I do not think a clear exposure 

 of the junction between the lowest beds and the underlying trap has 

 ever been noted. However, in a small stream bed [nala) at the north- 

 east end of the quarries, the underlying basalt is exposed at only a
