This section is seen in the small rain gully running north-east from the extreme 
southernmost point of this plant-bed area. The few plant remains found in this 
section were all obtained in Ko. 10. Amongst these were a fairly well preserved 
Biiecimcn of part of a frond very nearly allied to (if not identical with) Otozamites 
abbrematus and a pinnule of Ptilogfiyllimi acutifolium. The other plant remains 
were undeterminable, grassy-looking stalks. Mr. H. If. Blanford describes the 
plant beds here as abounding in Zamias, so probably he had the good luck to 
hit upon particular beds rich in fossils which escaped me, though I searched veiy 
carefully for them. His description gives no clue as to what part of the series he 
found the fossils in. 
From section Ho. 1, I obtained nothing recognisable on cursory examination, 
and was prevented by bad weather from making a closer search. 
II.— Sectioks in the Ootatook-Teeany Patch. 
Both ends of this patch of the plant beds proved themselves rich in fossil 
remains, representing a considerable number of genera characteristic of the 
Ilajmahal flora. The following section Ho. 3 gives a good idea of the succession 
of beds in the southern part of the patch : 
Section No. 3. 
23. Gritty sandstones, grey, massive. 
22. Ditto, coarse, ferruginous, purple to brown, rolling.
