Abstract

Megafossils collected from north-western branch of Nonia Nala, East of Kumarpur and northern branch of Nonia Nala near "Indigo" factory bridge form the subject matter of this paper. In addition, further observations have been made on the specimens earlier described by Feistmantel (1881) and Satsangi and Shah (1970) from near Maitur, north-western branch of Nonia Nala. From the first locality only ?Dicroidium/Lepidopteris and Podozamites sp. cf. P. lanceolatus Lindley & Hutton have been described. The second locality comprises Schizoneura, a few species of Glossopteris, Macrotaeniopteris sp. and Cordaicarpus sp. From the third locality no fresh collection could be made. Only the earlier described fossils, viz., Pecopteris concinna Presl., Cyclopteris pachyrhachis, Goppert, Taeniopteris sp. cf. T. stenoneuron (Schenk) Pascoe and ?cf. Kendostrobus sp. have been re-examined.
