根据我对平福尔德先生和我在旁遮普盐岭始新世地层研究结果的初步说明，我们现在已经确定了这样一个事实：在当地始新世的六个剖面中，下面的三个剖面（达克山口地层、凯拉巴德石灰岩和帕塔拉页岩）都是上拉尼科特时代的;帕塔拉页岩代表了比其他地方发现的拉尼科特时代更晚的元素。三个上部部分（Nammal页岩，Sakesar石灰岩。和Bhadrar层）的年龄为中拉基期，盐岭上拉尼科特和拉基之间的不整合面比其他地方要小。我们关于这个问题的论文，给出了完整的古生物学细节，将在适当的时候作为第24卷（N.S.）的第一部分出现。古生物学的一部分
WITH reference to my preliminary note1 on the results of work by Mr. Pinfold and myself on the Eocene beds of the Punjab Salt Range, we have now determined the fact that, of the six sections of the local Eocene, the lower three (Dhak Pass Beds, Khairabad Limestone and Patala Shales) are all of Upper Ranikot age ; the Patala Shales representing later Ranikot elements than have yet been found elsewhere. The three upper sections (Nammal Shales, Sakesar Limestone. and Bhadrar Beds) are of Lower to Middle Laki age, the unconformity between Ranikot and Laki being rather less on the Salt Range than elsewhere. Our paper on this subject, giving full palseontological details, will appear in due course as the, first part of vol. 24 (N.S.) of the Palaeontologia Indica.
