IO GRIESBACH : GEOLOGY OF THE CENTRAL HIMALAYAS. 



fossils collected by General Strachey and by others appeared. 

 Amongst them I mention — 



1862. Suess, E.— Letter on triassic fossils collected by General 



Strachey in the Verh. Geol. R. Anstalt, 1862, Vol. XII, 

 p. 258, who recognized true Alpine trias Ammonites 

 amongst those collected in the Niti area. 



1863. Blanford, H. F.— On Dr. Gerard's collection of fossils from 



the Spiti valley in the Asiatic Society's Museum. Jour. 



As. Soc. Beng,, XXXII, 124 — 138. 

 In this paper Mr. Blanford describes chiefly forms found in the 

 Spiti shales, but there are several fossils amongst them both older 

 and younger than the Jurassic Spiti shales. 



1863. Oppel, Dr. A.— Uber ostindische Fossilreste ausden secun- 



daren Ablagerungen von Spiti. Pal. Mitth. 1863, 267 



—302. 

 This paper is a most important contribution to the palaeontology 

 of the Himalayas; although it mostly describes Spiti shale fossils, 

 there are amongst the figured specimens several which are evidently 

 of lower trias age, certain of them very characteristic of the Hima- 

 layan trias fauna. 



1864. Beyrich, E. — Uber einige Trias Ammoniten aus Asien 



Monatsb. Akad. Berlin, 1864, 59 — 70. 

 1866. — Uber einige Cephalopoden aus dem Muschel- 



kalke der Alpen and iiber verwandte Arten. Abh. 

 Akad. Berlin, 1866, 105 — 150. 

 In these two papers Prof. Beyrich describes important triassic 

 forms, collected by the brothers Schlagintweit in the Himalayas, and 

 he discusses their relationship to Alpine forms. 



1865. Giimbel, C. W. — Uber das Vorkommen von unteren Trias- 



Schichten in Hochasien. Sitz. Ber. Akad. Wiss. Munich 

 1865, II, 348—366. 

 The author recognizes genuine lower trias fossils amongst the 

 collections brought by the Schlagintweit brothers. 



1865. Blanford, H. F., and Salter, J. W. — Palaeontology of Niti in 

 the Northern Himalayas, 8° Calc, 1865.
