Some dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous leaf impressions recently collected by the author from the Kasauli beds are described and figured. So far the only plant remains known from these beds were some leaf fragments referred to a palm Sabal major Heer, discovered by H. B. Medlicott (1864), briefly described by Dr. Kane in Medlicott and later figured by Feistmantel (1882). Since Medlicott's discovery of over 85 years ago no plant fossils have been recorded from these beds, which are probably much richer in fossils than has been generally believed.
