Arowa, is referred to the genus Aneimites, and is shown to be 

 distinct from the well-known European Lower Carboniferous 

 Fern Rhacopteris inaeqailatera, with which Feistmantel 

 believed it was identical. Arber (Cambridge).

 teris Flora. (Geol. Magazine. Dec. IV. Vol. IX. p. 346—349. 

 London 1902.) 



A summary of our present knowledge of the eomposition 

 and distribution of the Glossopteris Flora, in the light of recent 

 research. The possible oeeurrence of the genus Schizoneura 

 [Equisetales] in South Africa is recorded for the first time. 

 The oeeurrence of members of the Glossopteris Flora in E ur o p e , 

 and the association of Northern types with the Glossopteris 

 Flora in the Permo-Carboniferous Rocks of the Southern 

 Hemisphere, is discussed. Arber (Cambridge). 



Arber, E. A. Newell, Notes on Royle's Types of Fossil 

 Plants from India. (Geol. Magazine. Dec. IV. Vol. VIII. 

 p. 54b— 549. London 1901.) 



Descriptions of the type-speeimens figured by Royle in 

 1839, in his „Illustrations of the Botany of the Himalayan 

 Mountains". This is one of the earliest collections of fossil 

 plants belonging to the Glossopteris Flora of India. The types 

 described are Sphenophyllum speclosiun Royle, Vertebrarla Indlca 

 Royle (the rhizome of Glossopteris), Macrotaenlopterls clanae- 

 otdes Royle; and a new species, Cladophlebis Roylei, substi- 

 tuted for Royle's Pecopteris Llndleyana. The speeimens are in 

 the British Museum (Natural History). Arber (Cambridge).

 the Calciferous Sandstones of the Berwickshire 

 Border. (Summary of Progress, Geol. Survey, United 

 Kingdom, for 1901. p. 179—180. 1902.) 



A preliminary record of a second collection of plants 

 from the Lower Carboniferous of the Berwickshire border. 

 Among the more interesting speeimens may be mentioned, 

 Lepidodendron spetsbergense Nath., Marchantites sp., Anelmites 

 sp., Heterangium sp., and Cardlopterls polymorpha var. ro- 

 tundifolia (Göpp.). 



The whole collection will, we believe, be described fully 

 before very long. Arber (Cambridge).
