[No. 4, 



" Mr. Blanford himself noticed the difference in mineral character of 

 the rock in which this fossil was imbedded, as compared with the ordi- 

 nary aspect of the Mahadeva rocks." 



Mr. Blanford remarked that he too had inferred from the mineral 

 character of the matrix that the fossil was not from the Mahadeva 

 sandstones, but showed that the spot marked by Lieutenant Sim on 

 Mr. Medlicott's map placed it in the Mahadevas, and at some distance 

 from the boundary of the older rocks.
