faint indications of a somewhat indefinite individuality. Finely concretionary pseudo-conglo¬ 
meratic layers very similar to others in the group below are common, and conglomerate bands 
with derived pebbles from the underlying limestone and Murree groups, as well as quartzite, 
crystalline, or trappoid pebbles, are again met with. Fossil bones become locally more 
numerous, the upper part of this sub-division having furnished the larger number and 
most of the remarkable Siwalik forms found by Mr. Theobald in this district. 
The Siwalik fauna has been long well known; still, as some of tho forms from this 
region are new or otherwise interesting, I extract, from such published sources as are avail¬ 
able, a short list of the names of fossils found in tho district, with references to the sources 
of the information. 
Major Vieary discovered bones and an Elephas or Mastodon tusk in the Lower 
Siwalik beds now traversed by the Trunk Road south of Rawalpindi (1 of List, au. cit.). 
Determined by Dr. Falconer, from near “ Jalalpur andLehri,” 1854 (5 of List, au. cit.): 
Elephas, probably E. hysudricus. 
Mastodon, species indeterminable. 
Hippopotamus, resembling Tetraprotodon. 
Rhinoceros, molars in fragments. 
Equus, 2 species upper and lower molars. 
Sus, upper jaw. 
Sivatkerium, lower jaw fragment with tooth. 
Determined by Mr. Lydekker from 
1874 (No. 21 of List, au. cit.):— 
Eos, upper and lower molars. 
Cervus and Antelope, several species. 
Camelus, portion of molar. 
Aves, Grallce , fragment of leg-bone. 
Crocodilus and Leptorhynchus ( Gavialis), vertebrae 
jaws, teeth. 
Trionyx, carapace and vertebra! fragments. 
Fish, a vertebra. 
Kharean bills, south-east corner of map, 
Equus Sivalensis. 
Equus. 
Eos. 
Cervus. E. insignis (?) Ganesa (?) 
Elephas hysudricus. Crocodilus. 
Recorded by Mr. Lj’dekker from the district, Asnot, &c., 1876 tRec., IX, 3, 4, Pal. 
Iud.—see List):— 
Tetraeonodon magnum, Falc. 
An ear-bone of a Cetacean. 
Listriodon and Acer otheri um. 
Eos, 4 new species. 
Rhinoceros. 
Zntra. 
JUydaspidotherium megacephalum, n. g. 
Doreatherium. 
Camelopardalis Sivalensis. 
Merycopottmus Sivalensis. 
Ursitaxus Sivalensis. 
Ilycena Sivalensis. 
Felis. 
Ur sue. 
Determined by Mr. Theobald from south-west of Jand : Be Ilia Sivalensis, n. sp. 1877 
(4 of List, au. cit.) 
Besides these, many specimens await examination, amongst them the compressed shells 
of a fresh-water Mollusc (Unto) which I found in numbers at one locality (Saloi, south-by¬ 
east from Kakuta) in the upper portion of the group associated with crocodilian scutes, &c.* 
Among the upper beds, but not with sufficient persistence to be everywhere distinguish¬ 
able, is a thick zone of grey sandstones with few clay layers, generally of light drab or grey 
colour, and weathering so as to show elongated cores of harder nature than the rest. This 
has been called by Dr. Waagen and myself “the Dangot sandstone,” from the lofty cliIf 
of that name on the Indus near Kalabagh, in which it is conspicuous. There and in other 
* Unio shells were also found many years ago by Mr. Theobald near Mount Tilla, at a spot which he has been 
unable to rc-diseover,
