Below the last locality few fine fossils occur, but at the junction of the

Fossds rare below ° 



Hosungabad. j^ a f evv remains of Bovines were found with a 



few teeth of Equus, in a small patch of gravelly conglomerate, beneath 

 the village of Magaria, which was the lowest spot at which such remains 

 are at all numerous. A few bones have been found at Hosungabad 

 in sinking wells but below that merely a few splinters have been met 

 with. 



From the list of localities at which fossil bones more usually occur, it 

 will be seen that the ossiferous beds are mostly 



Causes of the trifling 

 extent of the ossiferous confined to the immediate neighbourhood of the 



Nerbudda. They doubtless in many parts cover 

 a large area beneath the upper alluvium, but it is only the Nerbudda 

 and its main tributaries, whose channels are sufficiently deeply exca- 

 vated to expose a fair section of these beds. 



It is far more usual at any distance from the Nerbudda to find the
