190 JURASSIC PLANTS FROM BEXHILL, N.S.W. 



A number of our specimens may be referred to this New Zea- 

 land species which, as Arber points out, differs from Podozamites 

 lcmceolatu8 in having narrower and more linear leaves. P. 

 gracilis occurs in New Zealand in rocks referred by Arber to 

 the Middle Jurassic. 



The specimen figured is No. L. 12 in Mr. Mitchell's collection. 



Araucarites (Podozamites) sp. 

 (Plate viii., fig.5[B]). 



There are a few examples in the collection in which the leaves 

 are even more slender and much farther apart than in those I 

 have referred to P. gracilis. The leaves are about 5 cm. long 

 and 2 to 3 mm. wide, with about five parallel veins. 



The material is hardly sufficient to warrant specific identity, 

 and it is possible that it may represent only a variation of Arau- 

 carites (Podozamites) gracilis; for the present it may be noted as 

 Araucarites (Podozamites) sp. 



The specimen figured is No. L. 14 in Mr. Mitchell's collection.
