The paper outlines the preliminary results of a palynological study of a carbonaceous phyllite sample from the B Member of the Jutogh Formation of Simla hills. Systematic descriptions are given for 5 genera and 6 species of acritarch assemblage recovered. Among the species described, five are new. Microfloral evidence favours a Lower Cambrian age for the bed.
