Abstract

The paper deals with some fragmentary remains of fossil plants from the Po series of Spiti, collected in July 1952 from two different plant-bearing beds near the village of Tabo. The present collection strengthens the view of Gothan and Sahni that the age of the Tabo plant-bearing beds is Lower Carboniferous.
