Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India Paleontologia Indica Figures and Descriptions of the Organic Remains Procured During the Progress of the Geological Survey of India (Ser.II.3)

1877

While in the Rajmahal hills the rock containing the fossils is almost throughout of very hard consist- ence and mostly of pale colours, the plants near Golapili are preserved in a fine- grained sandstone of a red-brown colour ; this rock is totally different from the former one, and yet belongs to the same group and includes the same fossils. [...] It may be said that the present paper contains repetitions of my former paper on the Rajmahal Hill Flora ; but it is admitted that the more figures of a form can be given the better, and the more a form is discussed, the more its peculiarities can be pointed out. [...] In my Flora of Kach,* Flora of the Rajmahal Series in the Rajmahal hills, and in the description of fossil plants from the Raniganj coal- field,t I had occasion to discuss this family more closely. [...] Lftidleyana from the Damudas, forming one of the affinities of the upper and lower portions of the Gondwana system. [...] I have pointed this out already in my pre- liminary notes and in the Rajmahal Flora ; and from the present figures of specimens from Golapili I am very much inclined to take it as identical with that species, it therefore belongs to the group of Cladophlebis, Sap. , which is the representative of mesozoic Alethopterides.
