contained in the limestone connected with coal in Assam, and may be 

 found on farther inquiry to characterise this member of the coal measures 

 generally throughout India. 



The fossils represented in the above plates, together with the views to 

 which they have partly given rise, are so much of the results of my late 

 journey to Assam, as appear at present to be connected with the subject of 

 coal. Other more extensive collections of a similar nature from the raised 

 beach referred in section II., are less connected with the natural history 

 of our coal-fields, but will be progressively brought forward on more suit- 

 able occasions: in the mean time Dr. Cantor has kindly undertaken to 

 submit a sample of the whole to naturalists at home, whose views will be 

 a guide to farther investigations on the subject. J. M.
