54 HOLLAND AND TIPPER: INDIAN GEOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY. 



quartzites bearing a considerable resemblance to the Dharwars, 

 and for this reason supposed to be Archaean. The name is 

 derived from the plain of Saih Hatat in Oman, Arabia. 



Hauerites beds.— Name introduced by C. Diener (Denks. k. 

 Akad. Wiss. Wien, LXII, 544, 548, 1895) for a nodular 

 limestone forming the lowest noric stage of Painkhanda. It 

 was replaced later by the name of the Zone of Proclydonau- 

 tilus Griesbachi. The fragments of ammonites assigned to the 

 genus Hauerites have been proved by Diener (Pal. Ind., Himal. 

 Foss., ser. XV, V, Mem. No. 3, 108) to belong to a new 

 sub-genus closely related to the Alpine Canities floridus AVulf. 



Haveli series. — Name proposed by E. Vredenburg (Rec. Geol. Surv. 

 hid., XXXIII, 259, 1906) for the beds previously known as Lower 

 Bhander in the Upper Vindhyan system. The beds so grouped 

 are mostly shales and limestones with subordinate sandstone, and 

 are thus contrasted with the prevalent sandstones of the next 

 series above (Betwa, old Upper Bhander). Name from the 

 elevated valley plain known as the Haveli, in Southern Bundel- 

 khand. 



Hedenstraemia beds. — Name proposed by A. v. Krafft (Director's 

 General Beport for 1899 — 1900, 207) from the characteristic 

 ammonite to replace " Subrobustus beds : ' (</.''.), proposed by 

 Diener. 



rk'lrnantl series. — An extensive series composed mainly of highly 

 folded quartzites and slates, locally altered into chiastolite schists 

 in contact with . granite, and occasionally crystalline limestone 

 and conglomerate. No fossils have been found in the series, but 

 its relations to some of the Fusulina limestones near Ak Bobat 

 (34° 55' ; 67° 42') in Eastern Afghanistan suggest a Lower or 

 Middle Carboniferous age, thus filling the gap between the Upper 

 Devonian Hajigak series and the Upper Carboniferous Fusulina 

 limestones. The series has been described by H. H. Hayden 

 (Mem. Geol. Surv. Ind., XXXIX, 25, 1911) from its occurrence 

 in the upper Helmand valley. 



Hitlgir stage.— Named by V. Ball (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., VIII, 

 112, 1876) from the Zamindari of Hingir (21° 57' ; 83° 46') 

 north of Sambalpur. The beds consist of coarse ferruginous 

 sandstones and conglomerates with beds of red shale, overlying 

 the Barakars unconformably. They have been correlated with 

 the Kiimthis (Man. Geol. Ind. Ed. 1, 210, 1879).
