DIENER : TRIAS OF .THE HIMALAYAS. 
It is impossible to decide whether or not this determination was correct 
since both Pseudomonotis ochotica and Monotis salinaria have been 
proved to occur in the Upper Triassic rocks of the Malay Archipelago. 
Our knowledge of the Trias of Misol and Savu is very limited. 
Among the collections gathered from those islands by G. Boehm, Dao- 
nella lilintana from the shales of Lilinta (Misol) is identical with a 
species from the carnic beds of Sumatra. In the island of Savu the 
presence of Upper Triassic beds has been proved by the discovery of 
Asteroconites savuticus Boehm. According to the present state of 
our knowledge the genus Asteroconites is restricted to the noric stage 
of the Alpine Trias. 
In eastern Serang a rich development of marine shales, sand- 
stones and limestones of noric age was discovered by J. Wanner 
in 1901. It has yielded the following species : — 
Montlivaltia moluccana Wann. 
Thecosmilia nov. sp. ex. aff. clathratae Emmr. 
Pachypora intabulata Wann. 
Halorella ampJiitoma Bronn. 
,, plicatifrons Bittn. 
,, rectifrons Bittn. 
Monotis salinaria Schloth. 
Amonotis Rothpletzi Wann. 
Vanilcoro serangensis Wann. 
The facies of the noric beds in Serang recalls strongly the carnic 
Kwalu sandstone of Sumatra. In the sandstones of Serang which 
occasionallv pass into pure quartzites, plant remains and coal seams 
are met with rather frequently. 
The fossils collected in the Triassic areas of Timor by Verbeek and 
Hirschi ' and described by Wanner, belong to at least three different 
Triassic horizons. Dinarites (Liccaites) Hirschii Wann., represents a type 
of this genus which in the Mediterranean Triassic province is charac- 
teristic of the upper Werfen beds. It would therefore point to a Lower 
Triassic age. Koninckina alfurica Wann., which is associated with 
indeterminable Halobice of the rm/osa group, from Bahabubu (Portu- 
guese Timor), Daonella indica Bittn. and D. cf. stijriaca, which have
