Sandstones containing shale fragments are found at various horizons, but they 
are of most common ocouiTence above the main body of clays. They are met 
with in full force, forming high land, east of Bibra. I have not determined the 
boundary in this direction. 
The flora of the Kota-Maleri group, as it at present stands, is represented by 
only a few species of plants discovered at the follow- 
ing localities :— 
From Anaram, opposite to Kota— 
Palissya conferta. 
Cheirolepis Muensteri. 
From Naogaon, in the valley of the Jangaon river, and 9 miles east of Jangaon 
village— 
Palissya Jaha^mretisis. 
Araucarites Kachensis. 
From between Mohar and Baldnpiir, 12 miles west of Jangaon village — 
Palissya conferta. 
Gheiro lep is Mu enstcri. 
From Chirakunt, 4 miles south of Jangaon— 
Toeniopteris, sp. 
Ptilophyllvm aoutifolium. 
Oyeadites, sp. 
Palissya, comp, conferta. 
Palissya, sp. 
Of the fossils from Chirakunt, which were obtained during the early part of 
this year (1877) and have only been recently examined by Dr. Feistmantel, he 
says — 
“ The fossils from Chirakunt, as far as I can determine or correlate them at 
present, are— 
Filices. 
“ Angiopteridium (Tmniopteris') sp. About 3 leaflets of a very slender form, with 
well-marked midrib, and thickish, dichotomous secondary 
veins, passing almost horizontally out of the midrib. The 
same form is as yet only known in the Ragavapuram shales, and 
reminds one of Toeniopteris Paintreei, McCoy, from mesozoic 
rocks in Victoria and Queensland, which is an Angiopteridium 
also. 
CtCADEACEJ!. 
“ Ptilophyllum acutifolium, Morr., the common form. 
“ Gycadites, sp.—a leaflet belongs to this genus and is of the Ragavapuram type. 
CoNirEEAS. 
“ Palissya comp, conferta. —There are pretty numerous branches of a conifer, 
which, I think, belongs to this type of the Rajmahal group, 
and Sripermatur group (= Ragavapuram beds). 
“Palissya sp., a different species,”
