ZAMTA— ZEWAN. 127 



a Permo-Carboniferons age, thus confirming the conclusions of 

 C. Diener (Pal ltd., Ser. XV, Vol. I, Part 2, 1899) from an exa- 

 mination of a smaller collection previously made. 

 The term Zewan was also used by A. Verchere [Journ. As. Soc, 

 Beng., XXXV (2), 89-134, 159-203, 1866; XXXVI, (2), 201-229, 

 1867] for a part of the section described by Godwin- Austen, but he 

 appears to have included a portion of the associated Lower Trias 

 according to the re-examination of his fossils by C. Diener (Pal. 

 Ind., Ser. XV, Vol. I, Part 2, 5-7, 1899). Verchere divided the 

 beds as follows : — 



3. Kothair beds . Triassic 

 2. Weean ,, 



1. Zeewan 



! 



Carboniferous. 



C. S. Middlemiss finds that the Weean beds are in reality high 

 up in the Triassic system (MS. Report, 1911). According to 

 Diener (Joe. cit., 1899, 92) the Kashmir Anthracolithic fossils 

 are more nearly related to those of the European Carboniferous 

 than to the Productus Limestone of the Salt Range. The 

 Zeewan fossils also show strong affinities with those of Loping 

 in China, and less markedly with the Australian rocks.
