Abstract
DR. SITHOLEY1 has described some “bivalved structures” from the Triassic of the Salt Range in the Punjab, which he says “are remarkably like the alga Cosmarium”; but he admits that “the latter is far too small to be compared with them”. He then compares these structures to Arnold's Greenland organism “undergoing fission”. From his description and the photographs, however, I was inclined to think that these structures could best be compared with some two-winged spores, with which they agree both as regards their size and their shape and general appearance.
