Thf marked cliann-o from tho lower lloras is visible at a {rlanco ; not n .single species is common to both, most of the -.'enera are distinct, and the liilercnf e is even greater when the conimonest plants ire compared. In the lower (londwitnas the prevalent forms are Equm-'.iicecc and ferns of the Glossopteris type, i'l tlie Kiijmahal flora oycads are by far more abundant than any other phiiit-. The whole assembla<re, moreover, is more nearly allied than are any of l\\u^e in tlie lower Gondwana ))eds to ]']uropean Mesozoic floras. Ofthi-Kajmahal plants* about fifteen are allied to Khtetic European forms, ;!ueo to Liassie or Lowit Jurassic (two of these havinp: also Kinetic aflinities),and -ix to Middle Jurassic (two havinfr lihretic relations as well). The flora must there- as a whole on purely paltcontological grounds be classed as liluetic. Kita-Mideri.—The deposits belonginjr to this series are found in tlie Godavari valley at a considerable distance from the liajiualial hills in IJengal, the locality lor t lie jlajmahal flora. Both fiiijmahiil and Kota-Maleri beds overlie rocks of llie Damiida series. It is not quite clear whether the Kota beds, which contain li.«li, insects, and crustaceans, and tlu! Maleri Ijeds, in which remains of fish, loptiles, and plants are found, are , or whether tlie Kota beds overlie fliose ol'Maleri. That the two are closely connected is fivnerally admitted. From the Maleri beds the following' remains have been recorded :— ANIMALS. Reptiua.—Ili/porodapedon, 1 ; rarasuchu/i, 1. Pisces.—
