A contribution to the study of the Eocene in Western Pakistan and Western India. C. The description of the scaphopoda and gastropoda from standard sections in the Rakhi Nala and Zinda Pir areas of the Western Punjab and in the Kohat district

Abstract

The Scaphopoda here described comprise three new species. The Gastropoda here recorded or described comprise 138 forms, 117 of which have received specific names. Of the 23 previously named species, two had not been recorded from Pakistan or India before. Largely owing to the nature of some of the beds from which collections were made, 96 of the species described are new. Four new genera and five new subgenera are proposed, and also one new generic name to replace a pre-employed name. The fauna recorded, together with the Lamellibranchia previously described, forms part of the material constituting the basis for the consideration of the classification and correlation of the Eocene of western Pakistan and western India, which the writer has published elsewhere.
