BSIP ShaHa Chandra & K.J. Singh Work other than Programmes Study on the floristic evolution of Talchir Formation and its equivalents in other parts of Gondwana was finalized and submitted for publication. Suresh C. Srivastava & A.P. Bhattacharyya Samples from two bore-holes UMK-3 and UMK-2 from Wardha Valley Coalfield were processed. Report of UMK-3 was sent to GSI, Calcutta. The assemblage was dominated by slriatites - Faunipollenites, Densipollenites. The age of these sediments has been suggested to be Raniganj. Maceration and study of another bore-hole samples (BR 21. 22 and 23) are in progress. Vijaya (& S. Kumar) About 50 samples of Spiti shale (Jurassic) from MalIa Johar area were studied. Only in 2-3 samples, scanty occurrence of Callialasporites and few taeniate spores is noted. The specimens are highly metamorphosed, blackish with peeled exine, due to which their identification is difficult. Rahul Garg, Jai Krishna(B.H.U.), Khowaja·Ateequzzaman & K.P. Jain A manuscript entitled "Biostratigraphic potential of dinoflagellate cysts recovered from the Late Jurassic ammonoids of Tethys Himalaya" has been finalized. J.S. Guleria & R.C. Mehrotra A manuscript entitled "On some plant remains from the Deccan Intertrappean localities of Seoni and Mandla districts of Madhya Pradesh, India" has been prepared. R.K. Saxena (& Sanjay Khare) A manuscript entitled "Gemmatriporopollis, a new pollen genus from Neyveli Lignite Mines and Jayamkondacholapuram Well-I 2 in Tamil Nadu, India" was prepared and finalized. J.P. MandaI Standardised the maceration of different kinds of samples by Microwave Digestive System. B.K. Misra & B.D. Singh Collected data on fluorescence microscopy of the Indian coals and lignites. Compiled and updated the information on characteristics of various fluorescing macerals with an emphasis on caution taken into consideration during observation under 52
1996-97 fluorescence mode and some useful suggestions. Alpana Singh & B.K. Misra A paper describing the typical fluorescing bodies, probably a new maceral of liptinite group of unknown affinity, from the lignites of Neyveli field (Tamil Nadu), has been finalized. The multicellular bodies are always found in association with leaf cuticles (cutinite). M.R. Rao (& K.K. Nair) A manuscript entitled "Palynological investigation of Miocene sediments exposed in Kundara-Kannanelur area, Quilon District, Kerala" was prepared and finalized. Samir Sarkar & A.P. Bhattacharyya On the basis of palynological study, a Late Miocene vegetational scenario of Lower Siwalik sediments exposed in the Kathgodam area of Uttar Pradesh has been envisioned. The inferences are copiously supplemented with megafossil data already published. The floral elements mainly pertain to broad leaf forest communities typical of subtropical climate. The presence of zygospores of Zygnemataceae proves beyond doubt that the environment of deposition was stagnant, shallow and mesotrophic fresh water. S.K.M. Tripathi Studies on biopolymer structure and its symmetry operations on partially degraded walls of Botryococcus braunii colonies from Hungarian Tertiary Oil Shales were carried out at the Cell Biological and Evolutionary Micropaleontological Laboratory, J.A. University, Szeged, Hungary. A manuscript incorporating the results was finalized. Jyotsana Rai A paper entitled "Scanning electron microscopic studies of the late Middle Eocene (Bartonian) calcareous nannofossils from Kutch Basin, western India" was finalized and submitted for publication. A manuscript entitled "Calcareous nannofossils from Eocene of Kutch Basin, western India" has been prepared. Neeru Prakash Two papers on 'The genus Phlebopteris in the Indian Gondwana" and "Some new records of plant fossils from Chui Hill, Jabalpur Formation: A comment on its age" were prepared and finalized.
