The extension <strong>of</strong> these biozones in the Lower Gondwana<br />
beds <strong>of</strong> other coalfields has also been traced.<br />
2.5.2. Morphotaxonomic study <strong>of</strong> Trilete genera<br />
The monograph on the miospore group Varitrilctes has<br />
been completed and the morpho taxonomic study <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Corisaccites-Gultulapollenites-complex is being continued.<br />
2.5.3. Permo-Triassic palynology<br />
Palyno-dating <strong>of</strong> the samples from bore-cores from East<br />
Raniganj coalfield proves the extension <strong>of</strong> Permo-Triassic<br />
deposition <strong>of</strong> the Raniganj Coalfield beyond its present<br />
limits, towards the eastern side. The subsurface coal<br />
deposits in the eastern part <strong>of</strong> the \-Vest Bengal basin have<br />
thus been indicated.<br />
The Permian-Triassic sediments <strong>of</strong> Tethyan Himalaya,<br />
Malia Johar area have indicated a palynological affinity<br />
with the Gondwana deposits <strong>of</strong> the Indian peninula, rather<br />
than wirh the European <strong>of</strong> Angara region. It has been<br />
concluded that the original provenance <strong>of</strong> the Tethyan<br />
Permo·Triassic deposits was in the Indian Plate.<br />
2.5.4. Detailed morphographic studies <strong>of</strong> sporae<br />
dispersae from Giridih Coalfield, Bihar and from Siang<br />
District, Arunachal Pradesh art" being continued, while<br />
