plants they contain are typical Rajmahal species, but several 

 others are allied to the younger Jubbulpur group of Central 

 India, as for example Gingko crassipes. The other plants are 

 identical with species occurring in the Sripermatur beds and 

 the Vemavaram (Ongole) beds. The lowest division, the 

 Grolapilly beds, are all, according to Dr. Feistmantel, of Kaj - 

 mahal or Liassic age. 



These three divisions are supposed to agree with the three 

 divisions of the Yemavaram (Ongole) series recognized by the 

 writer — 



Pavulur sandstones. 

 Vemavaram shales.. 

 Budavada sandstorms. 



Also with the three divisions of the Kota Maleri beds in the 

 northern part of the Pranhita-Grodavari valley — 



Chikkiala group. 

 Kota group. 

 Maleri group. 



But these latter really belong more to the geology of Central 

 India and need not therefore be further referred to. The 

 fossils of the Grolapilly group determined and figured by Dr. 

 Feistmantel in part iii of the 1st vol. of the Flora of the 

 Gondwana system in the Pakeontologia Indica are the follow*

Gleichenia binclrabunensis.
