Abstract
THIS note deals with the micro-fossil investigation of a sample of magnesian sandstone carried on at the instance of Prof. B. Sahni (then on tour in the United States) in 1948. The work was done with the view of checking the results quoted by Ghosh, Sen and Bose1 referring to the recovery of carbonized pieces of wood with uni- to multi-seriate bordered pits from Magnesian Sandstone Sample 6292 collected from the eastern part of the Salt Range.
