PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, .March 8,
Society, which came from Bagh on the
Kerbiidda. It forms a portion of that
assemblage of fossils which enabled
Capt. Keatinge to determine the exist-
ence of Cretaceous strata in the north-
west of the Indian peninsula, and it
was presented to the Society by Dr. H.
J. Carter, F.E.S. The specimens from
the cliifs at Has Tartak and Has
Sharwen, in South-eastern Arabia,
were collected by Dr. Carter, and in-
clude Echinoderms, Zoantharia, Fo-
raminifera, and Pectens ; they were
given to the Society by their distin-
guished collector in the hope that
they would, at some time or another,
be examined and named, special re-
ference being made to the Bagh series.
Hearing that I was studying the
Bagh fossils, Dr. Carter wrote to me
to direct my attention to those from
S.E. Arabia; for he considers that
both the localities are of Neocomian
age*, and that they are along the
same line of the great fault which,
running parallel with the coast-line
of S. E. Arabia, reaches the Yindya
range on the Nerbudda.
2. Position oftheStrata. — The town
of Bagh is situated about 22 miles
from the Nerbudda, 145 miles from
the sea, and about 850 feet above its
level. A Bryozoan limestone had long
been known to exist in its neigh-
bourhood, and the stones of Mandoo,
crowded as they are with fossils, had
excited the attention of Drs. Carter
and Oldham f. Capt. Keatinge and
Mr. Blackwell visited the caves whence
the stones were quarried, and made
as careful observations as could be
expected under very unfavourable cir-
cumstances. Their collection of fossils
was examined ; and, as far as can be
judged, these observers have fairly
proved their Cretaceous age. Before

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
