The first Silurian fossils from Yunnan were described by Mansuy in 1912 in his Paleontology of Eastern yunnan (Mansuy 1912) , but through a misinterpretation of the stratigraphic relationships they were originally referred to the " Lower Silurian" i.e. Ordovician. Subsequently, in 1919, this mistake was rectified by Mansuy in his Catalogue General (Mausuy 1919) where he referred these faunas to the Gothandian or Silurian in the modern sense. Mansuy described Silurian fossils from two localities in Eastern Yunnan. The first of these are from deposits in the vicinity of Si-yang-tang, north-east of Yunnan-fu, where they occur at several levels in strata which are probably all referable to the Upper Silurian or Monroan. The beds apparently rest by overlap on the Cambrian, on which account they were originally mistaken for Ordovician. The stratigraphy of the region is still little known.
