Bott these correlations appear (as far as the plant remains show) to be equally 
justified; and this is certainly of no small interest, as this Kattywar flora thus 
forms a connecting link heBreen those of the Jahalpnrandthe TJmia groups, plac¬ 
ing them, thus, homotaxially on the same horizon. This does not, of course, 
change anything of well established stratigraphical relations; and there is no 
objection that the same flora, which if considered from the Jabalpur group only 
has to be taken as middle Jurassic, should be found in the TJmia group with and 
above ujrper Jurassic marine animals, and should still retain its middle Jurassic 
character, which view I maintain. 
The case in Kach is, of course, easily solved: the formation is determined 
from the fauna, although this is associated with a flora of an older facies, but the 
question becomes more complicated where in the same beds ther’e are found 
marine animals, of secondary and palfeozoic types, as in the Salt-range, and in 
cases to be described by Mr. Griesbach from the Himalayan Trias. 
2. Note on some plants from the Jurassic rocks at Shekh Budin (Upper 
Punjab) . 
Last year Mr. A. B. Wynne made a collection of fossils at Shekh Budin, com¬ 
prising a few plant-remains, which, although very fragmentary, are of great 
importance, as being the first plants collected during the work of the Geological 
Survey in this northern portion of India. They are, however, not the only 
plants found in Upper Punjab. Dr. Waagen, in his note on the Attock slates,' 
mentions that there are in the collection of the Geological Society of London 
several specimens of plants from the Salt-range, although no recognisable speci¬ 
mens were yielded from that ground to careful search by the officers of the 
Survey. 
The plant-fi’agments of Shekh Budin are preserved in a fine, slightly mica¬ 
ceous shale, of a light purplish-grey color, resembling certain plant-bearing shales 
of the Jurassic rocks in Kach, but more closely the shales of the Jabalpur 
group, near Jabalpur. The ^ilants also, as far as determinable, recall those of 
the Jabalpur group. 
The only fossils determinable with some certainty belong to the—

Ptilofiylhimf?) ucMb/obiMK, Mor.—There is a fragment of a leaf of a cyca- 
deons plant, which belongs to the Zamiiece and which I refer to Ptilophyllmn, for 
it appears fi’om one of the leaflets that they are not free at the lower angle, 
but deenrring; the upper angle, w'hich is free, is rather a little more rounded 
than is usually the case in Ptilophylhm; but a specimen with very similar 
leaflets to those under discussion is figured as Ptilopliyllum acutifolium in my 
Flora of the Jabalpur group,'* Plate V, fig. 1. 
Podozamites, sp.—There is another fragment of a single leaflet, traversed by 
longitudinal veins. This I refer to the genus Podozamites, and it appears to me
