Of these six localities, the only one which is un(lonl)te(ny 

 Jurassic is Sha-shih-chieh. Pi'ohably so are also the three ])laces 

 which have yielded Podozamlics, while the last two, paheontologic- 

 ally speaking, can be described simply as Mesozoic. ]\Ir. Hira.- 

 BAYASiîi, however, from the geological point of view, considers the 

 six coal-mines al)Ove eiinmerated as belonging to one and the 

 same formation.

The plants from this ])r()viiice were collected in the coalmine 

 of Fang-t*u in Wei-H,sien" by Mi'. AVada wlio visited the ])lace 

 in 11)02 in com])any with ^lessrs. Ooawa and Kaneiiaua. A 

 large slab of a «rev ari>illaceons sandstone, toirether with some 

 smaller ones sent to me by Mr. AVada, contain fossils in excellent

Of these four, the three which are specifically déterminai are 

 well-known .lurassic forms, and Ctenls which I have left unde- 

 termined on account of its fragmentary character also j)resents 

 some resemblance to one of the forms called C. Zeuschnerl Racib. 

 occurring in the Jurassic of Puhmd. Therefore it is quite certain
