Abstract

The present paper deals with the palynological investigation of Barakar exposures near Lungatoo, Hazaribagh District, Bihar, India. 34 spore pollen genera and 62 species have been recovered from the sediments, out of which 11 species are new. The new species have been described and illustrated. The present assemblage is comparable to "Zone C" of the Barakar assemblage described by the authors (1968a).
