ON SOME FOSSIL FISH-SCALES FROM THE INTER-TRAPPEAN BEDS AT DEOTHAN AND KHERI, CENTRAL PROVINCES, BY SUNDER LAL HORA, D.Sc., F.R.S.E., F.N.I., Assistant Superintendent, Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta. (With Plates 17 and 18.)*

GEOLOGICAL AGE OF THE INTER-TRAPPEAN BEDS AND SOME OBSERVA

The fossil fish-scales described below were collected by Mr. H. Crookshank, Superintending Geologist, Geological Survey of India, from the Inter-trappean beds about mile to the east of Deothan (22° 19′ 77° 35′) and about mile to the east of Kheri (22° 22′ : 77° 29') in the Central Provinces. In his memoir on the Geology of the Northern Slopes of the Satpuras between the Morand and the Sher Rivers' (1936, p. 288), he made a reference to my tentative conclusions regarding the identity of some of the fish scales, but later he collected much more varied material. A brief reference was also made to these scales by Crookshank, Sahni, and the writer at the General Discussion on the Age of the Deccan Trap' held at the 24th meeting of the Indian Science Congress at Hyderabad in 1937. In the following account the various types of scales are described and their probable relationships elucidated. Oppor tunity has also been taken to describe some other infra- and inter* Published with the permission of the Director, Zoological Survey of India.
