B. Chiang-hsi-Shêng.' 



The plants of this province weie all collected by Mr. Hira- 

 BAYASHi who found them in shales in coal-mines. These shales 

 are all of nearly similar character, being dark, more or less soft 

 and imperfectly cleavable, except the one from Ch'ung-chia-fang, 

 which is coaly and black, and harder than the others. The 

 plant-species are very few, probably not because they arc rare, 

 but because the collector had not time to gather a large number 

 of them. Of the six localities, those which show only a single 

 species of Podozamiies lanccolatus (Lixül. et Hutt.) are the fol- 

 lowing three. 



a. San-chia-chung, An-yiian, P'ing-hsiang-Hsien.-^ 



b. Kao-kang, P'ing-hsian-Hsien."'^ 



c. Ch'ung-chia-fang, I-ch'un-Hsien.^' 



The place called 



d. Sha-shih-chieh, An-yiian, P'ing-hsiang-Hsien,'^ 



has given, besides Podozaiiiiies lanceolaius, a species of Ginkgoaceœ 

 called Phœnlcopsh latior, a plant widely distributed in the Jurassic 

 of Siberia. At 



e. Ssu-lu-pu, Hsing-an-Hsien,^^ 



there are only two indeterminable Cycads, Pterophylluvi and 

 yUssonia the former of wdiicli however shows some resemblance 

 to that already found in the Jurassic of other parts of China.
