3. The lower Gondwanas of Sironeha town are succeeded directly by a 
limestone band of the upper division, either naturally, but abruptly, or less prob¬ 
ably by a faulted boundary ; but this would only be evidence of unconformity 
between the lower and upper G-ondwanas and not, as I have hitherto supposed, 
of a break betw'een the two members of the Kota-Maleris. 
4. The Anaram sandstones with Palissya eonferta and Gldrolepis mumteri, 
are to all appearance on a horizon between the Kota and Metapali-Itial limestone 
zones. 
One more point of evidence beaa-ing on the relations of the limestone member 
has been obtained in the Angrezpali patch, -which may traverse Mr. Hughes’ 
surmise that the red clays there arc on a higher horizon than those of Maleri: 
for I have found limestones of the Kota type lying just along the southeim edge 
of this patch of clays, on the right bank of the Godavari to the east of Damara- 
kunta, between Malarim and Gondapali. The association is, as usual, not at all 
clear owing to the covering alluvial deposits of the river; but there is no doubt 
of the limestone being there associated with sandstones overlying the red clays. 
The Maleei Red Clays. 
I took up these at the typical exposure on the Wardha river near Porsa, and 
so can’ied them southwards, without continuity, but to all appearance and by 
associated sandstones, towards the Jangaon valley, whence they are more easily 
followed into the proper Maleri field. The Porsa red-clays, however, run under, 
or to write more correctly, run close up to, and must eventually underlie, sandstones 
belonging to the belt above the Kota zone of limestones. There is no sign of, 
nor can there be any room for, the sandstones below that zone, or for the Itial 
band. There certainly seems to be at this end of the field evidence of a cessa. 
tion of deposition over the noi’thern fi’ontier of the red-clay basin, which portion 
was, however, eventually covered ujs by the later belts of the Kota member (the 
third sandstone belt, that of Sarwai and Sarsal ridges). This, of course, is 
virtually only an overlap of these sandstones, not necessarily of the whole lime¬ 
stone sub-division; but there is further evidence yet to come of the possible 
overlap of the w'hole sub-division at the Anaram end of the field. 
To the south of the Jangaon river, the red-clays show in all their decided 
outspread; a fair series, displayed more especially about Nambala, Komreli, 
and Achlapur, of south-eastward dipping red clay bands with intercalations of 
thin arenaceous beds, and moi’e particularly many bands of gi-ey rubbly calcare¬ 
ous sandstones with indured red, chocolate, and greenish lumps of clay. The 
reptilian remains must have come from beds in the Maleri field, and not fiom 
any higher bands of clay in the upper member, the drainage being all to eastward. 
The eastern edge of the clay basin runs from a little south of Nangaon past 
Gungapur, Wodala, Venkatapur, Kasnapali, and Nakalapali to Isnai tank, some 
7 miles west-north-west of Anaram. Mr. Hughes, in his small map,i carries 
the western boundary of the clays rather more to the westward than I would 
have it, but there is certainly a section between Naneala and Rebni showing
