72 HOLLAND AND TIPPER : INDIAN GEOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY. 



Punjab Salt Range known as the Neobolus beds. Named from 

 the hill surmounted by an old Sikh fort in the Jhelum district 

 (32° 42' ; 73° 7'). The beds are divided into five zones, in the 

 uppermost of which occurs a trilobite, which was determined by 

 Noetling to be a species of OleneUus, but was found afterwards 

 by K. Redlich to be generically new (Pal. Ind., New Ser., I, i, 

 1899). The name proposed by Redlich was changed by Cossman 

 to Redlichia (Revue crib. Paleozool., 6th Ann., 52, 1902) ; and 

 C. D. Walcott (Proc. Wash. Acad. Sri., VII, 255, 1905) has shown 

 that this and the associated fossils indicate a Middle Cambrian 

 age for the Neobolus beds. 



Kyaukkyan series.— This name is used by P. N. Datta (Director's 

 General Report for 1899-1900, 118) for some fossiliferous shales 

 and limestones exposed in a railway cutting near Kyaukkyan 

 (22° 18' ; 96° 46') in the Northern Shan States. The fossils were 

 regarded as Devonian. In a footnote (loc. rit., 120) the age 

 is considered to be Mesozoic — a view which subsequently proved 

 correct, as this series is equivalent to the Napeng beds. The 

 name has been discarded. 



Kyinsi beds.— Name used by T. H. D. La Touche (Director's General 

 Report for 1899-1900, 114) for shales and concretionary limestones 

 lying under the Namyau (Hsipaw) beds. From the occurrence 

 of Conocardium they were regarded at first as Upper Palaeozoic, 

 but were afterwards found to be Jurassic in age. They are 

 equivalent to the Napeng beds (q. v.). Kyinsi (22° 34' ; 97° 14') 

 is a village in the Northern Shan States. 



Kymore.— See Kaimur series. 



Lake laterite. — Name proposed by L. L. Fermor (Geological Mag., 

 Dec. V, Vol. Ill, 461, 1911) for those forms of laterite deposi- 

 ted chemically in lakes and other bodies of water. 



Laki series— W. T. Blanford (Bee. Geol. Surv. hid., IX, 11, 1876 ; 



, Mem. Geol. Surv. Ind., XVII, 32, 45, 1879) grouped together 



i the very similar limestones of the Laki and Kirthar ranges in 



Western Sind as one series, named after the latter area. F. 



Noetling and E. Vredenburg in 1900 detected the difference 



t in the fossil contents, and the former (Centralblatt f. Min. 



1903, 521) proposed the separation of the older beds under the 



distinct name, Laki series, from the hill range and village (26° 



14' ; 67° 56') in Lower Sind. The Nummulites in the Laki series 



indicate according to E. Vredenburg (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind.
