DURING the past few years the Upper Cretaceous rocks of the Trichinopoly District, South India, have been receiving a lot of attention on account of the numerous reptilian remains found in some parts of the formation. Dr. C. A. Matley visited these areas about six years back and collected some specimens—a brief preliminary account of which he has recently published. Almost simultaneously with Dr. Matley, the staff and students of the Geology section, Central College, began to interest themselves in this area and have paid several visits to the very locality from which Dr. Matley has collected most of his specimens. As a result of these expeditions it is gratifying to note that we have been able to collect quite a large number of well-preserved fossil bones, and in the words of Dr. Matley this discovery of ours “ is of great importance as it is the first time that Southern India has yielded identifiable remains of dinosaurs ”.
