Rambles and Recollections of an Indian Official

CHAPTER 14
26/27

The intertrappean fossils are all those of organisms which would occur in shallow fresh-water lakes or marshy ground.
Besides the author's friend and relative, Dr.H.H.Spry, Dr.
Spilsbury contributed papers on the Nerbudda fossils to vols.

iii, vi, viii, ix, x, and xiii of the _J.A.S.B._ Other writers also have treated of the subject, but it appears to be by no means fully worked out.

James Prinsep, to whom no topic came amiss, discussed the Jubbulpore fossil bones in the volume in which Dr.Spry's paper appeared.

Dr.Spry was the author of a work entitled _Modern India: with Illustrations of the Resources and Capabilities of Hindustan_ (2 vols.

8vo, 1838).
