part 2.] Feistmantel: Fossil Floras of India. 41 
General table showing the relations of the now discussed series and tlieir floras. 
Kach (generally Kach Series) Middle 
Jdrass., Eorope. 
Rajmahal Series (Lower Jurass., Europe). 
Upper horizon. 
Lower horizon (?) 
Rajmahal Hills. 
Kolapilli. 
Loliaria, ; not quite dis¬ 
tinct. 
Doodaee, Bkoojooree, Ku- 
kurbit; these 3 ivith 
Oolitic forms, as en¬ 
umerated above. 
Oolite (lower). 
Thrombow with a Palis- 
$ya, like that from the 
Jinjmnhat series and 
Narbada valley ? per¬ 
haps representing here 
the Rajmahal series , 
Near Gooneri, contain¬ 
ing the Actinopteris- 
like forms. 
Abundant large Teeniopteris, 
Pterophyllvm; true Cycadites; 
some Otozamites , PalUsya (re¬ 
minding ? Jirauni , Endl.) etc., 
offering a Hassle view of the 
plants. 
Some AUthopteris, and a cons¬ 
tant Paliesya. etc., Lias (of Aus¬ 
tria ?); common plant with t he 
upper horizon of Kach, Pt.ilo- 
phyUum, Morr.; with Thrombow 
the Palis*)/a species, called by 
me Pal. OUlhami Fstm, 
Containing abundant Ptero- 
phyllum, besides all the 
characteristic plants for the 
“ Rajmahal series” of the 
Rajmahal hills (which must 
be taken as typical). 
Lias sic. 
Common with Thrombow, the 
Pa Ussy a species called by me 
Pal. OUlhami. Pstm. With 
the upper horizon the conife¬ 
rous scales (but much larger). 
There are two species of the genus Ftilophyllum Morr., common to both series ; they are Ft. 
cutchense (prevailing in Ivach) and Ft. acutifoliim, Morr., prevailing in the Bajmahal series- 
I would here give a list of the several works I have referred to bearing on our plant¬ 
bearing strata, their flora and age. AVe have Captain Sherwill (Journ. Asiat. Soc., 1851, 
p. 577,) on the Bajmahal hills, with a map.—Mr. Th. Oldham (in Journ. Asiat. Soc., Bengal)

I may also mention some works in which special mention is made of our fossils. There 
is Mr. Schenk’s “ Flora der Grenzschichten zwischen Keeper und Lias”, 1867, where especi¬ 
ally the systematical position of some of our Bajmahal species is discussed, and where 
Equisdum Rajmahalense, Oldh., is considered as a 1 ias si c form. Mr. Ettingshausen. in 
his “Die Farrenkriiutor der Jetztwelt” I 860 , mentions especially the Teeniopteris lata, Oldh., 
Tceniopt., Morris, Oldh., placing it with the living Acrostichum (which, however, is of no use 
in the question of the ago); as to the localities he states : “ In formatione Lias dicta ad 
Bindrabun Bengaliss.”
