Abstract
THIS communication reports the finding of fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes from India. They were collected by one of us (V. J. G.) in situ near Margan Pass (33° 44′ N., 75° 32′ E.) in the Anantnag District of Kashmir, India. They were discovered in dark, calcareous shales that overlie the fossiliferous Naubug Beds and underlie the Muth Quart zite, which is exposed on the talus-covered slopes south-west of Mangan. The former are of Upper Silurian age, while the Muth Quartzite near Naubug has been assigned to the Middle Devonian.
