  (Abstract.) 
  

  

  The 
  remains 
  alluded 
  to 
  consist 
  of 
  (1) 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  Reptilian 
  bones, 
  

   some 
  bearing 
  teeth, 
  mostly 
  Labyrinthodont, 
  and 
  some 
  probably 
  

   Dicynodont, 
  from 
  the 
  (Triassic 
  ?) 
  red 
  clay 
  of 
  Maledi, 
  in 
  which 
  teeth 
  

   of 
  Ceratodus 
  occur 
  ; 
  and 
  (2) 
  several 
  teeth 
  similar 
  to 
  one 
  from 
  the 
  

   Eocene 
  clays 
  of 
  Takli, 
  near 
  Nagpore, 
  and 
  another 
  like 
  a 
  conical 
  

   tooth 
  from 
  the 
  Eocene 
  beds 
  (with 
  Physa 
  Prinsepii) 
  of 
  Physura, 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  neighbourhood 
  as 
  that 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  set 
  No. 
  1 
  was 
  found. 
  

  

  At 
  Phisdura 
  (Tertiary) 
  large 
  Reptilian 
  bones 
  (including 
  a 
  femur 
  

   1 
  foot 
  across 
  at 
  the 
  condyles, 
  and 
  a 
  vertebral 
  centrum 
  7 
  inches 
  across) 
  

   have 
  been 
  found 
  associated 
  with 
  large 
  coprolites, 
  Physa 
  Prinsepii, 
  

   and 
  Paludina 
  Deccanensis. 
  

  

  Major 
  Gowan's 
  discovery 
  of 
  a 
  Labyrinthodont 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   Mahadewa 
  Hills 
  was 
  also 
  noticed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Hislop. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Hislop 
  stated 
  his 
  belief 
  that 
  the 
  Mangali 
  beds, 
  the 
  Korhadi 
  

   shales, 
  and 
  the 
  red 
  clay 
  of 
  Maledi 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  above 
  the 
  plant- 
  

   bearing 
  beds 
  of 
  Nagpore 
  instead 
  of 
  below 
  them 
  as 
  heretofore 
  sup- 
  

   posed.
