occurring’ mostly in tlic Raniganj grouji. We can in fact say, Schizonetira is the 
characteristic feature of these localities in South Rewah, and is more widely dis¬ 
tributed here than Vertebraria, as out of eleven localities, Schkoneiira occurred in 
six and in great numbers, while Vertebraria was found only at five localities. Of 
other fossils I would specially point out the following:— 
Macrotoenioxiteris feddeni, Fstm. 1 both of the typical Raniganj 
Ohssoxteris formosa, n. sp., retifera, Fstm., i group. 
Alethopteris. —There are two pinnas of an Alethopteris which has to be referred 
to the group of Al. ioliithyevsis, Gcipp. A fragment of an Augiopteridium has to 
be referred to Ang. mdGlellandi. 
VoUzia Jicterophijlla, Bgt., which we already know from the Karharbari beds, 
is here again represented in the Raniganj group, and not rare. 
c. Siipra-Da.niiidas. 
On the labels of several fossils from two localities Mr. Hughes has indicated 
the horizon as “ Supra-Damudas.” To judge, however, from the fossils and from 
petrographical character of the specimens, the fossils indicate lower Gond- 
wfinas, although representing perhaps two horizons. 
Daigaon, on the Johilla river, about 4 miles north-west of Pali. 
CoUectio Hughes, 1880. 
] ertehraria indica, Eoyle. 
According to our present knowledge, Vertebraria is especially typical of the 
Damuda division,’ and in default of other fossils, I would consider this locality 
to belong to this division; it may be Raniganj (Kamthi) group. 
Parsora (south tolah), near Beli, about 6 miles north-north-east of Pali. 
CoUectio Hughes, 1880. 
The fossils from this locality are very interesting, especially one new species. 
They are preserved in a red-brown, highly ferruginous, micaceous shale, com¬ 
pletely agreeing with the rock in which Mr. V. Ball’s fossils from Latiahar, in 
the Auranga coal-field, are preserved, which as to the horizon^ were left undecided, 
although Mr. Ball thought that they are probably “Mahadevas.” Considering, 
however, the fossils, amongst which there is Vertebraria and Glossopteris, I 
treated this locality’’ as belonging to the Panchets, and it might bo the same 
case with the present locality in South Rewah, and the more so as the fossils 
would perhaps support that view. 
The fossils are— 
Banceopsis .—A new species—in numerous specimens. 
Of this genus there were hitherto known with certainty only two species, 
’ Tliere are several specimens tnown from tlie Karlmrbari beds of the Karliarbari coal-field 
and also from a doubtful locality in tbe Auranga coal-field, which probably is Panchets, but, as a 
rule, it is a fossil of the Damudas.
