Abstract

The present paper contains a description of miospore assemblage recovered from the Lower Gondwana rocks of the Bansloi valley, Rajmahal hills, Santhal Parganas, Bihar. The miospore assemblage comprises 34 genera and 64 species out of which one genus and 23 species are new. One new Infraturma has been established.
