Ranikothalia Sahnii, n.sp. and R. Savitriae, n.sp.: A possible link between the Paleocene Faunas of the East and West Indies

Abstract

The author refers to his paper "Ranikolhalia in East and West Indies" (1949), in which he cited a West African form as apparently linking the Paleocene Ranikothalia of the Indo-Afghan border to those of the Antilles. He now describes that form as Ranikothalia sahnii, and its megaspheric companion as R. savitriae, as a tribute to his friend the late Prof. Birbal Sahni, F.R.S., and to Mrs. Sahni.
