Annals of the South African Ifuseuvi. 



The Uitenhage series in the district of that name is described as 

 including the three following divisions in descending order : — 



a. The Sunday Eiver marine beds containing animal fossils. 



b. The Wood-bed with remains of fossil wood, ferns, and cycads. 



c. The Enon conglomerate beds. 



In 1867 Tate read a paper before the Geological Society of London 

 ' On some Secondary Fossils from South Africa,' "■ in which he 

 described several species of plants collected by Drs. Eubidge and 

 Atherstone from rocks to which the author of the paper applied the 

 term Uitenhage series. The majority of Tate's type-specimens are 

 now in the Museum of the Geological Society at Burlington House, 

 and I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Council 

 for allowing me to borrow several of Tate's plants for purposes of 

 examination and redrawing. Four of Tate's type-specimens are 

 represented in pi. v., figs. 1, 3, 4, 5. 



The Uitenhage flora, as described in the paper of 1867, comprises 

 the species enumerated in the following list. My examination of the 

 original specimens, and a comparison of them with the more abun- 

 dant, and in many cases more satisfactory, material recently collected 

 have led me to make several alterations in Tate's nomenclature ; the 

 names used by Tate are given in the left-hand column and opposite 

 each of his names I have added in the right-hand column the 

 designations adopted in the present paper.

t In cases where the generic designation has been altered I have followed the 

 convenient rule of enclosing the name of the author of the species in brackets.
