In 1836, Goppert 1 described and figured Glossopteris in his work 

 "Die fossilen Farnkrauter." 



In 1850, M'Clelland 2 figured several new specimens from the 

 Bardwan Coalfield, India, in addition to examples of three species 

 which had been previously described. His drawings, however, 

 were so carelessly executed, and the descriptions of the specimens 

 so imperfect, that it is practically impossible to recognise any of 

 M'Clelland' s species, with the exception of Taniopieris danmoides.

 These important type-specimens are now in the Museum of the 

 Geological Society of London.
