Glossopteris indica, Schimp_Between Malian river and Tamor hill (Ma- 
jurdaki) ; north-west of Reonti. 
3. Cycadcacets (/). 
NoggeratMopsis liislopi, Bvinb., sp. (Fstm.)—This species, at first known from 
the Kamthi (Raniganj) grouji only, was later identified from the Barakar and 
Talchir-Karharbari groups also. Between the Mahan river and Tamor hill 
(Majurdaki) ; Suidud nalah, 1| mile north of Bheria. 
The localities, the fossils of which do not indicate with certainty the Barakar 
group, are: 
(а) . West of Dhonda, from where I could determine: 
Glossopteris indica, Schimp, and 
Glossopteris communis, Fstm. 
(б) . Suknai nalah north of Sai'sera : from here 1 determine: 
Vertehraria indica, Royle. 
Glossopteris communis, Fstm. 
There is, however, no objection that these localities also should be mapped as 
Barakar, as is done on Mr. Griesbach’s map. 
RaNIGANJ GEOttP. 
The occurrence of the Raniganj group in the typical form is, I think, well 
established in this field by the frequent occurrence of Schizoneura gondwanensis, 
Fstm., and of several species of Glossopteris, which hitherto are known from the 
Raniganj group only ; I shall mention them presently ; one is already a described 
form, the others are new. 
1. Equisetacem. 
Vertehraria indica, Royle, the more branched form, as known from the Kam- 
thi (Raniganj) group; between the Mahan river and the Tamor hill; nalah 
between Gouri and Ghui; in the Morne river, north of Parasdiha. 
Schizoneura gondwanensis, Fstm.—Several pieces of shale are filled with specie 
mens of this species, just as is the case in the Raniganj field, and also the shale 
agrees with that of the Raniganj field. The specimens are in layers, one over 
the other, preserved as leaved stalks of various sizes and as single leaves. It is 
additional evidence to the wide geographical distribution and frequent occur¬ 
rence of this species in the Damuda series, especially in the Raniganj group. 
We know this species at present from— 
(a), the Raniganj group of the Raniganj coal-field, where it is very numer¬ 
ous ; from the Jherria coal-field; from the Hiugir coal-field; from the 
Tatapani coal-field, where it appears to be also numerous; and from 
the Satpura basin, where it is known from two localities (in the Bijori 
horizon) ; 
(h), from the Panchet group, in the Raniganj field, where it occurs pretty 
numerously. 
(c), from the Barakar group on Lumki hill, in the Karharbari coal-field;
