Records of the Geological Surrey of India. 
[vol, IX 
a. — Ptilophylhttn Culchense, Morr. (Palceozamia Cutchensis, Morr. and Oldh.) 
This is the predominant form, with shorter and more obtuse leaflets. I distinguish several 
varieties which I need not enumerate here. Locality: Kukurbit and Bhoojooree. 
1.—Ptilophyllum acutifolium, Morr. Mr. Morris, in Captain Grant’s Geology (Trans¬ 
actions, Geolog. Soc., 1840, Vol. V, 2 Ser., p. xxi, f. 123), figures several specimens, 
but I have observed only one. Locality: Bhoojooree. 
2.—Genus Otozamites, Braun. 
c .— Otozamites contiguus, Fstm. Some fern-like forms have been formerly placed as 
Otoptcris; but I believe it is best to take them all still as Otozamites, Braun; it will at 
least avoid confusion. 
The above species is one of those with short pinnules. Locality : Kukurbit. 
cl .— Otozamites imbricatus, Fstm. A species with longer pinnules, which are so 
inserted on the rhacliis that they are imbricated. Locality.—Loharia; in ferruginous 
fine-grained sandstone. 
e. — Otozamites cf. Goldiaei, Bgt. This is one of the groups with long pinnules ; and 
I consider our specimen closely allied to Brongniart’s species from the English Oolite; and so 
a species of more importance than the others. Locality.—Kukurbit. 
3.—Genus Cycadites, Bgt. 
f. —Cycadites Cutchensis, Fstm. A very delicate species, with the distinct midrib of 
Cycadites. Very close to Cycadites zamioides, Leckcnb., differing only by the insertion 
of the leaflets on the base. This latter is also an Oolitic species from England (Scar¬ 
borough). Locality : Kukurbit. 
4.—Genus Williamsonia, Carr. 
There are three species of a fossil from Kukurbit, brought by Mr. W. T. Bhmford, 
which I place in the genus Williamsonia, Carr., from the English Oolite (Linn. Transact., 
Yol. XXVI, p. 680. Phillip’s Yorkshire, iii edit., 1875, p. 227, PI. XXIV, f. 5), and which 
I will describe as Williams. Blanfordi, Fstm. 
Of less importance is Cycadolepis, Sap., which occurs also near Bhoojooree in one 
specimen, and to which I give the specific name Gycadol. pilosa, Fstm. 
II.— Coniferce. 
Among the remains of this class are again some very important species for the 
determination of age, as they in general are very characteristic of the strata in which 
they occur. 
1.—Genus Palissya. 
From three localities we have got coniferous branches, which I place without hesitation 
in this genus, because they have its peculiar characters. 
a—Palissya Bhojoorensis, Fstm. This species I think different by some marks from 
Palissya Brauni, Endl., and from that occurring in the Rajmahal series, P. Oldhami, 
Fstm.; so I name it as above. Locality: Bhoojooree; in reddish soft clay. 
b—Palissya sp. like that from the Rajmahal series, and also from the Jabalpur group, 
wbicb is probably of the same horizon.
