PART l.J FeistmanM: Paleontological Notes fmn the Saignira Coal-lasln. 81 
About nine miles soutb-east of Shapur there are other outcrops in the Tawa 
river near the village of Dolari. Going from Dolari to 
Dol li outcrops. river and passing down it to the east, we meet the 
first (or lowest) seam No. I; it is underlaid by sandstones, and the following 
rocks are seen— 
a. Brittle, sandy, gi’eenish grey micaceous shales. 
h. The coal seam about 2' thick at this place, the coal, however, brittle and 
full of the fibrous anthracite. 
c. Thin-bedded shaly sandstones. 
d. Thin sandstones again up to the next seam. 
No fossils were found in this outcrop. 
We pass then from here eastwards over sandstones which become thin-bedded 
and shaly, until carbonaceous shales of 4!—51 appear, without coal; above these 
.shales some sandstones, and then again dark-gTcy shales are seen, under which lies 
the seam No. II, which, however, was then covered ; but I saw at Dolari some 
old heaps of coal, which was said to have been dug from this seam. In the out¬ 
cropping grey shales some fossils were found, although very fragmentary— 
Tlquisetaceous stalks. 
Gangamiopieris oyclopteroides, Fstm. 
Glossopteris. 
Koggerathiopsia Mslopi, Bunb., sp. 
These fossils, although very scarce, yet perhaps permit of a compari.son of this 
outcrop with that near Kotmi, and consequently also with the Karharbari beds. 
Here at Dolari, however, all the outci’ops are so close to each other that they may 
well be considered as representing all the same horizon. 
The Illrd outcrop (to the east) was almost entirely covered by river sand. 
I procured only with great trouble a piece of coal which was of very inferior 
quality ; but the thickness of the seam could not be ascertained. 
The highest and last outcrop, the IVth, to the east, is exposed to some extent. 
On the underlying sandstones appear thin-bedded carbonaceous micaceous shales, 
with fragmentary fossils, then the coal seam about 2' thick (at this place) ; then 
shales and sandstones. The only fossils I could observe were fragments of a 
Glossopteris. 
As the last to be mentioned are the outcrops about eight miles to the north¬ 
west of Shapur in the Bhoura naddi (also Suk-Tawa), 
Outorops ill ^ tlie Bhoura (.Jose to the village Sonada. There are several outcrops 
naddi near Sonada. , -ii iiinin 
three quite close to each other in the northerly bend ot 
the river at the village, but they are much concealed, and no fossils could be pro¬ 
cured. It would, however, not appear improbable that some of these outcrops at 
Sonada represent those in the Suki river north-east of Tekripiira. 
On my return way from Shapur to Itarsi (Great Indian Peninsula Railway) 
I made a search round Kesla in the Denwa group. I think I found the decomposed 
mottled shales from which Glossop)teris had been procured; but to my regret failed 
to find any fossils. .
