plants from the Son river, west of Garara, a place that is also rcjiresented in tlio 
collections received recently from Mr. Hughes. 
From those fossils and their equivalents elsewhere I had judged that they 
represent the Raniganj (Kiimthi) group, an opinion which the subsequent collec¬ 
tions have confirmed. 
Since October last a regular survey of this field was begun by Mr. Hughes, 
•who has already been fortunate enough to procure a largo number of interesting 
fossils, both vegetable and animal, which are of great importance for fixing the 
horizon of the beds. 
Mr. Hughes has sent two collections; the first contained plants from the 
Lower and animals from the Ujjper Gondwanas. The former I wms able to include 
in the list of localities in my paper (now in the press) on the Damuda-Panchet 
flora; they all were of the Raniganj (Kamthi) horizon, while the animal 
remains were of the Maleri horizon of the Central Provinces. 
The second collection contained Low'er and Upper Gondwana plants, many of 
great interest; it arrived too late to enable me to insert the localities of Lower 
Gondwana fossils in the alphabetical list in my detailed work. 
This collection was much larger, and contained fossils from many more 
horizons, also several new species of ijlants. In anticipation of full description 
and illustration I may now give a brief notice of them, so far as they arc 
known with certainty. I shall enumerate them according to the horizons, and 
within each horizon from each locality. The horizons I have put do-wn as Mr. 
Hughes has provisionally indicated them on his labels; two localities for which 
there was no horizon indicated, I have placed to such horizons as would bo 
assigned to them by the fossils when compared with already-established classi¬ 
fications. I also include the older collections made by Mr. J. G. Medlicott and 
later by Mr. 0. A. Hacket.
