DIENEB. : TRIAS OF THE HIMALAYAS. 
8. Haloritcs beds. 
7- Limestone with Proclydonautilua Griesbachi. 
6. Shales with Halobia comata. 
5. Muschelkalii. 
4. Lower Trias. 
3. Productus shales. 
2. White Quartzite. 
1. Silurian. 
The quartzite series is underlain by liver-coloured limestones 
recalling the beds of t'le Torer Sattel in the section of Raibl (Carinthia) 
in their lithological character. They have yielded only one fragmentary 
specimen of an ammonite, Saqenites sp. ind., from which the group 
was named " Sagenites beds." Seeing that this fragment of Sagenites 
is not determinable specifically, it is perhaps advisable to discard that 
name. As Anodontophora Griesbachi Bittn. (Griesbach's Corbis cf. mel- 
lingi) is particularly common in this horizon, it might be termed from 
this leading fossil " Beds with Anodontophora Griesbachi." 
The thickness of this group has been estimated at 130 feet by Diener, 
and 160 feet by A. v. Krafft in the Bambanag section. 
Below the liver-coloured limestone with Anodontophora Griesbachi 
there follows a mass of compact limestones, which are often dolomitic 
or micaceous and about 320 feet in thickness. 
They are rich in brachiopods and bivalves, which were described 
by A. Bittner (I.e., p. 72) From their leading fossil they have been 
termed " Beds with Spirijerina Griesbachi." Their fauna consists 
of the following forms : — 
S'piriferina Griesbachi Bittn. 
Retzia Schwageri Bittn. 
Spirifjera Dieneri Bittn. 
Amphiclina sp. ind. 
Rhyrtchonella bambanagensis Bittn. 
„ inartoliana Bittn. 
Aukicothyris joharensis Bittn. 
Lima cumaunica Bittn. 
Pecten biformatus Bittn. 
„ interruptus Bittn. 
Anadoniophora Griesbachi Bittn. 
Cassianella pulchella Bittn.
