 southern or Indian, faciès of one great Oolitic flora. The occurrences 

 of Indian elements like Dictyozamites and Palyssia like- wise bint at

It may be here added, that within a last few years Jurassic 

 plants have been discovered in many other parts of our country. In 

 the Mesozoic basins of Awa and Tosa in Shikoku, plants seem to be 

 tolerably numerous, also animal remains, which are referable to the 

 three main periods of the Mesozoic Era. In the province Kii, to the 

 south of the city of Osaka, plants again occur ; and this is the case 

 also in the little basin of Kagahara in the province Közuke, where 

 however, as far as I know, they are very rare. Jurassic plants have 

 also been brought from the northern part of Shinano, where they were 

 observed in pebbles. These, I hope, will form a subject of another 

 paper on the Jurassic plants of Japan.
