Trias (Middle and Upper.) 



Kotliair Beds. 



In the text I considered provisionally the Kothair group as either 

 the nppormost layer of the Carboniferous, or else Permian or Triasic. 

 I had no fossils then to decide the point. During the time which has 

 elapsed between my first sending in this paper and its publication I have 

 found, in breaking up some rocks from the Kothair bed in Kashmir, 

 a Grlobosus with Ceratite-like sutui'es ; and I have discovered in the 

 Bottah Boh, in beds corresponding to the Kashmir bed, a few shells 

 which do not leave a doubt of this group being Triasic. 



Cephalopoda. 



Ammonites, sp. conf. A. Gaytani (Klip?) 



Paleont. of Niti, p. 65, PI. TIL fig. 4. 



Our specimen is a little more than half an inch across, and very 

 globose. It shows well two or three of the sutures which are identical 

 with Mr. Salter's figure. 



From the Upper Bed, near Banda in Kashmir. 



Ceratites Semi-partitus (Graillardot.) 



A very good and nearly complete specimen was found in the Rotta 

 Boh, in a pale limestone which forms a high cliff above the much 

 disturbed Carboniferous. The shell is slightly elliptical. The suture 

 is exactly like that represented in Pictet's Traite de Paleontologie. 

 It has some resemblance to M. de Konninck's Ceratites Lyellianus or 

 more still to his G. Laivrencianus, but the suture differs. Cliffs above 

 Kotela and Oomurkhel, Botta Boh. 



Remark. I have but little doubt that several of the Ceratites 

 described by Mr. de Koninck (from Dr. A. Fleming's collection), as 

 obtained from Carboniferous beds with Spirifers and Producti, had 

 their situs in those cliffs or similar ones, and had dropped and become 

 mixed with the much broken up and fragmentary rocks of the Zeawan 

 and Wean groups below. 

 Ceratites JSTodosus (Sow.) f 



On a slab of reddish calcareous sandstone from the Algecl Wan, 

 Botta Boh, a shell, which has all the characters of this species, is to 

 be seen in company with the Posidonomya to be hereafter described, 

 with fragments of bone and what appears to be a tooth of Lepidotus (?)
