 [Abstract.] 

 This paper was a continuation of one read before the Society last 

 year, in which the Carboniferous, Jurassic, and Post-tertiary de- 

 posits and fossils were described by Capt. Godwin-Austen, Mr. 

 Davidson, and Mr. Etheridge. In this communication Capt. God- 

 win-Austen confined himself to the Carboniferous formation, which 

 was shown by him to have, in the Valley of Kashmere, a thickness 

 of more than 1500 feet. The upper portion of this mass contained 

 but few fossils, except in one particular bed near the entrance of the 

 ravine above the village of Khoonmoo ; but the lowest portion, or 

 Zewan bed, is made up chiefly of the remains of Brachiopoda and 

 Bryozoa ; and a higher stage, though still near the base of the for- 

 mation, contains abundant remains of Producta. The position of 

 a limestone containing Goniatifes is not very clearly determined, but 

 it is probably a member of the Zewan series. 



The sections in which the relative positions of the different beds 

 were exhibited were described in detail, and plans and a map were 

 given showing their geographical relation. 



Mr. Davidson described the Brachiopoda forwarded with the 

 paper, stating that they abound particularly at Barus and Khoon- 

 moo, but are rarely in a very good state of preservation. Among 

 them are several common and wide-spread European and American
