Trichomanides laxum, n.s.,pl. 10, fig. 2. Rhizome creeping, long, 

 slender, sending up at distinct irregular intervals delicate mem- 

 branaceous, pinnate fronds. Pinna? emerging at an acute angle, 

 linear or cuneate, bi-furcating with one simple free vein to each 

 lobe. Rosewood scrub, Ipswich, not common. 



This fossil cannot be distinguished from Trichomanes ; one in- 

 dusium and receptacle at the end of a lobe showing the simple cup 

 of that genus. There is some resemblance in the form to the preced- 

 ing species of Carruthers, but this species is much smaller and 

 evidently consisted of short pinnate fronds proceeding at irregular 

 intervals from the slender creeping rhizome. This fossil has 

 intimate relations with our existing flora. 



Trichomanides spintfoliitm, n.s., pi. 3, fig 7, evidently some- 

 what stiff, spreading, dichotomously dividing, bi-pinnate, pinna? 

 opposite or nearly so, long, linear and together with the rachis 

 membranaceously winged, pinnules nearly opposite or alternate, very 

 short and quite acute, the apical one long, and linear, veins thick, 

 simple free. No sori or indusium visible. 



This beautiful species is distinguished by the rigid aspect, the 

 close numerous pinnae, the shortness and acuteness of all pinnules, 

 except the terminal one which is disproportionately long and 

 linear. Rosewood, near Ipswich.

Frond many times dichotomously divided with squarrose divis- 

 ions and squarrosely pinnate. Pinnae angularly flexuous. Pinnules 

 somewhat remote, broadly spathulate, petiolate, trilobed or remain- 

 ing nearly entire, veins dichotomous. Fertile pinna? and pinnules 

 subcircinately recurved, short and with a leafy expansion.

 of Victoria, No. 2, Melbourne 1875, p. 73. The only record of 

 this species which I can find is in a letter from Prof. M'Coy to 

 Mr. Brough Smyth, published in the above report. He states 

 that having examined the fossils from Iguana Creek, which had
