The final conclusion in this paper was : — That the Pancliet Group in 
India was Upper Triassic, while the Damudas were Lower Triassic ; hut I 
then included the Talcliirs also, as the Karharhari beds were not separated at 
that time.

At about the same time as in the “ Records” (loc. cit.j I wrote a paper 
in the Geological Magazine, wherein I pronounced the same views with 
regard to the correlation of the Indian and Australian coal beds. I pointed, 
especially, to the circumstance that in the Damn da Group Glossopteris is 
associated with Triassic forms, which do not occur in Australia at all, and, 
also, that, in India, Glossopteris is never associated with marine Palaeozoic 
animals, which do occur in Australia. I proposed an explanation, which I 
thought well suitable, viz., that Glossopteris grew first in Australia during 
the Carboniferous epoch, but survived in India, passing, perhaps, through 
China,* when India was in connection with the European Triassic Continent.

In this paper I treated, especially, of the various relations of the 
Daniuda Group, i.e., the coal-bearing portion above the Talcliirs and 
Karliarbari beds. 
In Chapter C, p. 121, I treated of the question — “ What is the analogy 
of our Damuda Series with the lower coal measures in Australia ?”

In comparison with the previous editions of the same work the present 
one is greatly enlarged, not only in the text itself, but also by a series of very 
useful appendices, so that it is quite justifiable to notice it at some length 
here. 
Mr. Clarke treats, at first, of the various formations in New South 
Wales in ascending order. The “Azoic” or “ Metamorphic,” and “Lower 
Palaeozoic” (Lower and Upper Silurian) need of no special notice here. The

together with Kinetic plants. I shall mention this Flora, especially, further on.
