Abstract
IN a letter dated February 10, one of us directed attention to the discovery of microscopic angiosperm, gymnosperm and insect remains in the Saline Series as exposed in the salt mines at Khewra and Warchha in the Punjab. The situations from which our samples were taken, in the body of a closely bedded series, placed it beyond doubt that the fossils were truly in situ; and their affinities make it obvious that the beds cannot possibly be as old as Cambrian.
