The task to collate, edit, update and create a systematic inventory of fossil plants known from Indian sedimentary successions was first initiated by scientists of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany after the Silver Jubilee Celebrations in November, 1971. Though it was a daunting task as the information was scattered in various journals and many other publications, this effort materialized with the publication of "A Catalogue of Indian Fossil Plants" by R. N. Lakhanpal et al. in 1976. This single volume catalogue included all plant mega- and microfossil records published from 1821 to 1970. As enormous data had subsequently gathered in the next two decades, another Catalogue was released during the Birbal Sahni Birth Centenary Celebrations in 1991. However, due to the wealth of the available data impossible to be incorporated in a single compendium, 11 Fascicules on different fossil groups and/or geologic time span were prepared, each authored by subject experts from the Institute.

In connection with the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of the Institute this year, the idea to again update the information came up during discussions in our group meetings sometimes in January, 2006. Despite the short notice and a tall order, several of my Institute colleagues readily volunteered to take up the uphill task. It is indeed heartening to see that these Catalogues/Atlases have been completed in record time. I wish to express my most sincere appreciation to all those who contributed their energy and skill in giving shape to these individual compilations.

The present inventory of Cenozoic megafossils prepared under the title, “A Catalogue of Cenozoic (Tertiary) Plant Megafossils from India (1989 – 2005)” by Rashmi Srivastava and J. S. Guleria is a welcome addition to the list of Institute publications. The catalogue systematically incorporates the records of all megafossil taxa (except algae) of Cenozoic (Tertiary) Era giving their taxonomic status, precise age and place of occurrence. I am sure the consolidated information made available in the catalogue will prove highly useful particularly for Tertiary research workers.

(iii) PREFACE

The present catalogue is in continuation of the earlier Indian Fossil Catalogues published by «Lakhanpal et al. (1976) and «Srivastava (1991) with the aim to provide upto date consolidated data on Tertiary megafossils to research workers. The current catalogue includes megafossil records (ex- cept algae) published during the period 1989-2005, from the Tertiary sediments of India. The fossil records are arranged alphabetically accord- ing to their generic names. Every generic name is followed by its author / authors name and family or classification. In case the generic diagnosis has been emended, the name of the original author has been followed by the emending author. Emendation is clearly indicated by the word 'emend'. The genera and species are arranged alphabetically. The species name has been followed by its author, year of publication, page number, refer- ence of plate and figure, geological age with the name of horizon, locality, district and state in which the locality is situated. Sometimes, the same sequence (geological horizon) has been assigned to different geological ages and horizons in different publications. Such anomalies have been rectified accordingly. For example, age of the Deccan Intertrappean beds has been given as Upper , ?Cretaceous, Upper Cretaceous- Palaeocene, Upper Cretaceous-Eocene and even Eocene. As per latest data available, the authors have assigned Maestrichtian-Danian age to the Deccan Intertrappean sediments citing the original ages given by the au- thors in bracket. Likewise Siwalik sediments of Oodlabari, Darjeeling dis- trict have been considered Lower-Middle Siwalik in age. The age of these sediments has subsequently been considered as Lower Siwalik. The origi- nal age / horizon has been given in bracket marked with asterisk “*” Synonymy of taxa as given by authors in their latest publications is maintained. Names of older taxa along with their present synonyms have been given in their alphabetical order, the older names in italics and their present names in bold face. Among the abstracts published during the period, data of only those abstracts have been incorporated whose full papers have not yet been published. Whenever fossils have been referred or assigned to living taxon or established fossil genera or species without their valid publications as in large number of published abstracts, such genera or species have been marked with “¨” sign. Fossil names that are Nomina nuda have been italicised and their details have been provided.

(v) Geographical names have been used as per latest nomenclature and orthography e.g. Kachchh for Kutch, Thiruvananthapuram for Trivendrum, Kannur for Cannanore and Kollam for Quilon. On account of recent changes in state and district boundaries latest names have been given followed by original names in bracket market with double asterisk “**” e.g., Kathgodam, Nainital District has been cited in Uttaranchal which was formerly in Uttar Pradesh. Likewise an important and famous intertrappean fossil locality, Ghughua, now falls in Dindori District which till sometimes back was part of Mandla District in . The authorship and classification of modern and fossil genera are based on the "Index Nominum Genericorium (Plantarum)" by «Farr, Leussink and Stafleu (1979). Genera not included in the above publication are based on their original publications. Full surnames of authors are given. Hopefully the catalogue will prove useful to students and research workers. The authors have tried to make catalogue foolproof. Inspite of authors best efforts users may come across some omissions and mistakes for which the authors take full responsibility and request the users to bring such omissions to notice of the authors. The authors are grateful to Director, Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany for permitting them to carry out this work.
