Sahnii and R. rajmahalense). one new species of Cladophlebis ( C. Srivastavai ), one new species of Cycadeospermum (C. indicum), one new species of Conijerocaulon ( C. rajmahalense), and one new species of Cycadolepis ( C. indica). Besides an impression of a Williamsonia flower some cycadean seeds and stems have been figured. All the fossils are characteristic of the Rajmahal flora.
