t.OVVr.ll TftlAS : I'AINKHANCA. 
Hed 1 is the main layer of Oloceras Woodwanli Griesb.. which is, how- 
ever, far inferior to 0. Sahmfala in number of individuals. From bed 
2 two speoiniens of ammonites only are known to me. Both were 
collected by myself in 1892. There is no specimen from this bed either 
in Noetling's or in A. v. Krafft's collections. My species are : — 
Episageceras Dalaikimoe Dien. 
Proptychites Scheibleri Dien. 
Of the first species a fragment has also been discovered in bed 1, the 
main layer of the genus Otoceras. 
In bed 3 Ophiceras fibeticuiii, which occurs also in bed 1, still persists 
together with the genus Otoceras, which is, however, rare and represented 
there by a variety of 0. Woodwardi. 
Those three beds, with their uniform fauna can therefore be united 
in one single division, to which the name of " Otoceras beds," as pro- 
posed in 1879 by C. L. Griesbach, has been restricted by Noetling. 
The fauna occurring in the Otoceras beds of Painkhanda is com- 
posed of the following species of Cephalopoda : 
Grypoceras brakmanicum Griesb. 
E pisaqeceras Dalailamoe Dien. 
Otoceras Woodwardi Griesb.
