GAJ— GOLAPILLI. 49 



near the Dunghan mountain (29° 52' ; 68° 22') to Spintangi (29° 

 55'; 68° 8'). This series is correlated by E. Vredenburg (Rec, 

 Geol, Sun:, Ind., XXXIV, 87, 182, 1906) with the upper part of 

 the Laki series of Sind, being regarded as Lower Lutetian in age. 

 The same series has been recognised in Sara wan (E. Vredenburg, 

 Rec, Geol. Sun:, Ind., XXXVIII, 195, 1909), and is the most 

 conspieuouslyJTcoal-bearing among the Tertiary beds of Western 

 India. 



Giri limestone. — A series of limestones at the base of the Kam-pa 

 system of Eastern Tibet. The limestones are unfossiliferous, 

 but rest on Spiti shales and are probably Lower Cretaceous. 

 Described by H. H. Hayden (Mem,, Geol Surv., Ind., XXXVI, 

 162, 1907). 



Giumal sandstone.— Named by F. Stoliczka (Mem., Geol Surv., Ind., 

 V, 114, 1866) from the village of Giumal (Gieumal) in Spiti 

 (32° 10' ; 78° 14'). Correlated with the Upper Jurassic, or 

 Malm, although the fossils found were regarded by Stoliczka as 

 not quite satisfactory evidence (p. 139). Now regarded as Cre- 

 taceous in age (Hayden, Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., XXXVI, 86, 

 1904). Examination of the fossil collections by A. Spitz (Rec, 

 Geol. Surv., Ind., Vol. XLI, 69) indicates a range in age from 

 Middle Neocomian to the base of the Upper Cretaceous. 



Godavery beds. — A number of small outlying patches of Newbold's 

 " Diamond Sandstone, and Limestone " system, which stud the 

 plains of the Kistna and the Godavery (T. J. Newbold, Journ,, 

 Roy. As. Soc, VIII, 159, 1844). The rocks referred to are those 

 afterwards described by W. King (Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., VIII, 

 1872) as the Kistna beds. 



Gokteik series.— Name applied by P. N. Datta (Director's General 

 Report for 1899-1900, 118) to some shales 2 miles north of the 

 village of Gokteik (22° 20' ; 96° 55') in the Northern Shan States, 

 Some arthropod remains found in these beds were taken to indicate 

 a Mesozoic age. The name has been dropped, as T. H. D. La 

 Touche (Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind,, XXXIX, 287, 1912) considers 

 the beds to be part of the Napeng or Rhaetic stage. 



Golapilli series.— Formally introduced as a part of the Upper 

 Gondwanas by W. King (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., X, 1877, 56 ; 

 Mem., Geol Surv., Ind., XVI, 18, 1880). The lowest division of 

 the Upper Gondwanas in the Godavari area, named from the village
