impressions of a bright red colour on a brown stone, or bright 

 yellow on a red ground. At Rosewood, Rockhampton, the im- 

 pressions are in a hard siliceous chert without a trace of carbon- 

 aceous matter. In this the impressions are sharp and very hard 

 with the venation beautifully displayed. 



In the determination of plants I have followed closely the 

 system and nomenclature of Schimper in his Paleontologie 

 Vegetale. Some of the plant remains have involved me in 

 considerable doubt, but in giving names and descriptions I am far 

 from supposing that my views of their character will be accepted 

 by more experienced fossil botanists. I think, however, something 

 has been done when a name and a diagnosis has been recorded, 

 so that similar fossils may be recognized elsewhere.
