Atgae~bagh. 2i 



(Yenericardia) Beaumonti d'Arch., a form characteristic of beds 

 in Sind and Baluchistan -which E. Vredenburg (Rec, Geol. 

 Surv., hid., XXX1Y, 86, 1906; XXXVI, 192, 1908) regards 

 as Ma?strichtian, reaching perhaps to Lower Danian. F. Noetling 

 (Pal. Ind,, New Ser., I. 5, 1899-1901) refers to these rocks as 

 the Chin series. Similar rocks have been recognised by R. D. 

 Oldham (Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., XIX. 223, "l882) in Manipur 

 and the Naga hills. 



Babeh series. — Named by F. Stoliczka (Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., 

 V, 17, 135, 1865) from the Babeh (Bhabeh) pass (31° 43' ; 78° 4') 

 in the Central Himalaya of Spiti. Described as consisting 

 of sandstones, slates and quartzites of probably Lower Silurian 

 age, by which was intended Lower Silurian in its then 

 wider sense to include the Ordovician and much of the Cam- 

 brian. The Babeh series was afterwards included by C. L. 

 Griesbach (Mem,, Geol. Surv., Ind., XXIII, 53, 1891) in his 

 Haimante system, and was shown by H. H. Hayden (Mem., 

 Geol. Sun:, 'ind., XXXVI, 19, 1904) to be Cambrian. 



Badalgarh quartzite and shale.— A local sub-division of the 

 Alwar quartzite group, named by C. A. Hacket (Rec, Geol. 

 Surv., Ind., X, 86, 1877) from a hill and fort (26° 53' ; 

 77° 18') in the Bharatpur State, Rajputana. 



Bagh beds.— Named from the town of Bagh (22° 21'; 74° 57') 

 in the Gwalior State for certain marine limestones and 

 sandstones of Cretaceous age exposed at various places in 

 the Narbada valley between Chota Udaipur and Baroda. Re- 

 garded by W. T. Blanford as of the same age as the freshwater 

 Lametas, and younger than the Mahadeva sandstones (Mem., 

 Geol. Surv., Ind.. VI, 218, 1869). Fossils described by P. Martin 

 Duncan (Quart. Journ., Geol. Soc, XXI, 357, 1865 ; Rec, Geol. 

 Surv., Ind,, XX, 81, 1887), P. N. Bose (Mem. Geol. Surv., 

 Ind., XXI, 35, 1884) and E. Vredenburg (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., 

 XXXVI, 109, 1907) indicate a cenomanian age, corresponding 

 to the Utatur stage in the Coromandel Cretaceous beds. P. 

 N. Bose avoided the use of the term " Bagh beds, ' ' because 

 of its previous use with various meanings (Mem,, Geol. Surv... 

 Ind., XXI, 36, f.n.). He divided the marine Cretaceous of 

 this area into three stages — 



(3) Coralline limestone.
