Abstract
The Lamellibranchia here recorded or described comprise 147 forms, 135 of which have received specific names. Of the forty-four previously named species, four had not been recorded from Pakistan or India before. Largely owing to the nature of some of the beds from which collections were made, eighty-nine of the species described are new. Two new genera and four new subgenera are proposed, and also one new generic name to replace a pre-employed name. The fauna recorded, together with the Gastropoda to be described subsequently, forms part of the material constituting the basis for the consideration of the classification and correlation of the Eocene of Western Pakistan and western India, which the writer has published elsewhere.Keywords
