following localities as new : — Beni, Talbragar R., Macquarie R., 

 between Wellington and Dubbo, 16 miles from the latter place. 

 In both instances the specimens were not perfect enough for 

 specific determination. 



Hymenophyllites dubia. Nov. sp. PI. IX., figs. 1 and 2. 



This cannot, with the material in hand, be distinguished from 

 Sphenopteris digitata of Phillips. (See Geology of Yorkshire. 

 2nd Edit. Part I. Plate VIII., figs. 5 and 6.) Nothing was 

 known of the venation of the Yorkshire species. In the Dubbo 

 species, however, a nervure can be made out, which is divided and 

 continued into each lobe. It certainly belongs to the Sphenop- 

 teridse and for the reason stated, I consider it a species of 

 Hynenophyllites. As more perfect specimens will doubtless come 

 to hand, I content myself for the present with figuring the species. 

 Phillips' species is derived from the sandstones and shales of 

 Gristhorpe and Scalby (Jurassic.) 



Loc. From a well, West Dubbo. 



CYCADACE^E. 



PODOZAMITES. Sp. 



Prof. M'Coy described (Pal. Vict., p. 33, pi. 8, figs. 1, 2, and 5) 

 a species of Podozamites which was associated with Alethopteris 

 Austrcdis, and with which the Dubbo specimen will, I think, be 

 found identical. I collected only one example, and that a 

 fragment, but parallel nerves rapidly constricted at the base were 

 easily noticeable, and at once separate it from Zamites — the one 

 other form which it approaches. Loc. Railway shaft, associated 

 with Thinnfeldia odontopteroides, Alethopteris Austrcdis, Odon- 

 topteris macrophylla and Podozamites ? 



CONIFERS. 



Walchia piniformis (V). Sterengberg. 



Refs. Fl. d. Vorw. i. p. 22. Goeppert, Foss. Flor. de Perm., 

 pi. 49, fig. 13. 



Twigs of this are found in water-worn pebbles of an indurated 

 fireclay in the Talbragar R. It differs from Wcdchia Milaeana,
