The same author 1 also described in 1895 an interesting fossil 

 which he referred to the genus Phyllotheca, and which is here 

 described as P. Etheridyei, sp. now 



In 1897, Dun 3 recorded two new species of Glossopteris from the 

 Newcastle Series : — 



Glossopteris rectinervis, sp. nov. = cf. G. Browniana, Brong. 

 G. acuta, sp. nov. 



(h) Victoria. 



The genus Glossopteris has not, so far as I am aware, been 

 recorded from Victoria, although Gangamopteris has been known 

 from the colony for many years. The first mention of the latter 

 genus was apparently that by Selwyn 3 in 1866, who identified it 

 from the Bacchus Marsh beds. 



In 1875, McCoy 4 described the following forms of Gangamopteris 

 from the same horizon and locality : — 



Gangamopteris angustifolia, McCoy. 



G. spatulata, sp. nov. = G. cyclopteroides, Feist. 



G. obliqua, sp. nov. = G. cyclopteroides, Feist. 



In 1878 and 1890, FeistmanteP described the above species, 

 without any further additions to the flora except Phyllotheca 

 australis, Brong., from Cape Paterson, Victoria. 



In 1898, the late Sir Frederick McCoy 6 described a fragmentary 

 portion of a Tseniopteroid frond as Tamiopteris Siceeti, which was 

 obtained from the Bacchus Marsh Sandstone. 



(c) Queensland. 



In 1872, Carruthers 7 recorded Glossopteris Broicniana from 

 Queensland. The same author, 9 in 1880, determined the 

 following species in a collection of plants obtained by Mr. Jack 

 from the Bowen River Coalfield, North Queensland : — 



Glossopteris Browniana, Brong. 



G. linearis, McCoy = G. Browniana, Brong. 



G. cf. G. ampla, Dana. 



Phyllotheca australis, Brong. 



Araucarioxylon Nicoli, sp. nov. = nomen nudum.
