176 0. Feistmantel — A sketch of the history of the [No. 3, 



representatives of the Maleri clays in the South Rewah basin (near Tiki, 

 81° 25' long. ; 23° 56' lat.), with the same reptiles, but without Geratodus. 



The Denwa group of the Satpura basin* appears to be a representa- 

 tive of the (Kota) Maleri group ; a Parasuchianf scute was procured from 

 the same. 



There are several other groups which have probably to be placed on the 

 same horizon, wnich I shall also quote under special headings. 



Chart group. — Another group, the third from above, of the Kach Jura, 

 proposed by Dr. Stoliczka. Vertebrae of a Parasuchian crocodile^ were 

 found, which tend to correlate this group with the Denwa group. 



Sripermatur group. — 1873, Foote, Geology of Madras, Mem. G. S. I. Vol. X,p. 63, 

 et seq. 



A group of rocks in the neighbourhood of Madras, which contains 

 marine animals and plants. By its fossil remains this group is cor- 

 related with the Vemaveram shales § (Vemaveram, 12 miles north north- 

 east of Ongole, S. Kistna country), the Utatiir plant bedsjj (Utatur, 

 Trichinopoly district) and the Ragavapuram shales^[ (Ragavapuram 

 27 miles north-east of Ellore and West of Rajamahendry, Lower Godavari.) 

 "With these latter the plant beds of Chirakunt (see ante) have to be 

 correlated and from the geological position of these two latter groups, one 

 must also judge of that of the others. They are all, I think somewhat 

 higher than the Rajmahal group proper. 



c. Rajmahal Division". 



JRdjmahdl group** (in the restricted sense). 

 1877, V. Ball, Geology of the Rajmahal hills, Mem. G. S. I. Vol. XIII, p. 55, (209). 



This is the lowest group of the fossiliferous beds of the Upper Gond- 

 wanas. It is developed typically in the Rajmahal hills, where it is highly 

 fossiliferous, containing a rich and varied Flora.f f 



The sandstones of Golapili (near Ellore,) South Godavari district^ 

 are true representatives' of the typical Rajmahal group. They contain 

 a Flora only.

** This group is not to be mistaken for " Rajmahal Series" which included several 

 groups and was almost tantamount with what now is known as Upper Gondwanas 

 minus the Mahadcvas, then considered distinct.
