Some fragmentary plant remains collected from the upper part of the Kali Gandaki Valley, near the village Kagbeni, form the subject matter of this paper. The collection includes a specimen of ?Taeniopteris sp. cf. T. spatulala McClelland, two species of Ptilophyllum (P. acutifolium Morris and P. sp. cf. P. cutchense Morris) and a few pieces of petrified araucarian woods. All the wood pieces have been referred to a new species of Araucarioxylon, viz., A. nepalensis. The plant bearing beds (Kagbeni Sandstones) are supposed to be the basal part of Lower Cretaceous.
