The maximum of close relationship with Europe is observed at the horizon of the Lower Nati the fauna of which contains an unexpectedly large propotion of European Oligocene species the nearest analiTy bbing with the Oligocene fauna of Liguria. A wide-spread temporary oceanic connection established by the great marine transgression of the Oligocene undoubtedly accounts for the mingling of eas [...] It is when we come to the Mekran Series that the comparison with the post-Eocene faunas of the Indian Archipelago acquires especial importance for while the connection of the Mekran faunas with certain of the further eastern faunas particularly in Java is very striking the relationship with the fossil faunas of Europe hasINTRODUCTION. [...] We may provisionally subdivide the Mekran t.t.'eries into two stages of which the lower may be distinguished as tha Talar Stage after the richly fossiliferous locality of the Talar Gorge on the northern border of the Talar Range some forty miles norteast of Gwadar ; while the upper less completely known stage may be distinguished as the Gwadar Stage after the fossiliferous rocks of the penin [...] The inner convexity of the surure projects fowards far beyond the level of the external marginal portion of the suture in such a manner that an axial plane tangent to the external saddle would not only cut off the greater part of the lateral saddle of the same septum but a considerable portion also of the lateral convexity of the previous septum. [...] Both forms agree in the rate of increase the flattening of the flanks and the shape of the septa.
