2510. Guillaumin, A. Notes de Palaeobotanique Neo-Caledonienne. [New-Caledonian 

 paleobotanical notes.] Rev. Gen. Bot. 31:273-276. 1 pi. 1919.— The New Caledonian flora 

 of the Permo-Trias had numerous ferns and conifers analogous to those of the Permian. No 

 evidence for the presence of Glossopteris has yet been found, in spite of its abundance in New 

 Zealand and other southern lands. In the collections of the Geological laboratory of the 

 Faculty of Sciences in Paris are specimens of Taeniopteris, Sphenopteris and gymnosperm 

 leaves from the Permian of New Caledonia, and Araucarioxylon australe from the Triassic. 

 References to previous works on the subject of New Caledonian paleobotany are given. —
