satisfactory collections. The fauna is identical with that described by 

 Diener from Peak Chirchun No. 1, as is proved by the following list of 

 fossils, kindly communicated by Prof. Diener ••==

2. Lower trias (E. B. 20 on map). One large block was dis- 

 covered with numerous cephalopoda of lower triassic age, situated 

 about 1 \ miles to the north of Kungribingri No. 2 at the right angle 

 formed where the boundary range turns from a south to north direc- 

 tion to the east. 



The rock is of a dark red, earthy limestone, thin bedded, with a 

 few grey layers. The cephalopoda are mostly of indifferent preserva- 

 tion being filled by calcite. Most of the fauna collected belong to the 

 genera Flemingites and Dannbites, two very characteristic genera of 

 the Himalayan lower trias (horizon of Flemingites rohilld). A com- 

 mon species is Danubites nivalis, Dien. Other genera represented 

 are Meekoceras, Hedenstroemia, Prosphingites and a genus similar to 

 Pseudosageceras, Dien. This fauna awaits further examination. 1 



Lower triassic blocks are not recorded from the Chirchun area. 



1 The Meekocerata were recognised to contain species unknown from the 

 horizon of Flemingites rohilla of the Himalayan series, while the species common 

 to the latter are wanting in E. B. 20. This points to faunistical peculiarities 

 being present, yet I have little doubt that they are of small importance.
