PAR— PEGU. 95 



According to W. Waagen (Pal. Ind., Ser. IX, Vol. I) this division 

 corresponds generally to the Batlionian. 



Pathanian Stage.— Name proposed by F. Noetling (Director's Gene- 

 ral Report, Geol. Surv., Ind.,' for 1898-1899, 52, 57, 61 ; 

 Centralbhtt /. Min.. 1903, 521) for beds in Baluchistan which 

 he regarded as lower Eocene. In this stage were included 

 the Radiolites beds and the Cardita subcomplanata and 

 C. Beaumont i zones in the Mari hills. E. Vredenburg (Rec, 

 Geol Sun:. Ind., XXXVI, 191, 192, 1908) points out that these 

 beds correspond to the Cretaceous Msestrichtian of Europe, and 

 that the name is unnecessary. 



Paupugnee. — See Papaghni. 



Pavalur sandstones.— The uppermost of the three stages of the 

 Upper Gondwana rocks, south of the Kistna river, correspond- 

 ing approximately to the Tirupati sandstones of the Ellore area. 

 Named by R. B. Foote (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., XI, pt. 3, 256, 

 1878 ; Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., XVI, 69, 1880). 



Pegu system.— Name given by W. Theobald (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., II, 

 80, 1869 and Mem., Geol. Surv., Ind., X, 268, 1873), for the beds 

 in Burma between the Numniulitic rocks and the fossil-wood 

 (Irrawaddy) system. Regarded as covering the Miocene and 

 Pliocene periods. Theobald included in this system— 



5. Sandstones and shales. 



4. Kama clays. 



3. Compact marly sandstone (B). | 



2. Massive argillaceous sandstones in thick beds (A).) 



1. Sitsayan shales. 



F. Noetling (Pal. Ind., New Ser., I, 7, 1899-1901) divides these 

 into two series : — 



II. Yenangyaung (including 3, 4 and 5). 

 I. Prome including 1 and 2. 



M. Stuart (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., XXXVIII, 261, 1910) reverts 

 to Theobald's scheme, objecting to the modified use of the word 

 Prome, which Theobald applied to his sections A and B (2 and 

 3). Stuart, however, transfers bed No. 5 to the Irrawaddy 

 system (loc tit., 266, 267, 269), on account of an unconformity 

 which he regards as separating 4 and 5 in the Prome district 

 (cf. Akauktaung series).
