HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION. lxxi 



Glossopteris itself was first recorded from Argentina by Boden- 

 bender 1 in 1895. The following species 3 were identified: — 



Glossopteris com mini is, Feist. = G. iitdica, Scbimper. 



G. retifera, Feist. 



Gangamopteris cychipteroides, Feist. 



Neuropteridium validum, Feist. 



Pliyllothcca, sp. 



Equisetites Morenianus, Kurtz = ? 



Lcpidodendron Pedroanum (Carr.). 



L. Sternbergii, Brong. = L. lycopodioides, Sterub. 



Noeggerathiopsis Hisiopi (Bunb.). 



Euryphylhim Whiltianum, Feist. (?) = Noeggerathiopsis Whittiana (Feist.). 



llhipidopsis ginkgoides, Schmal. 



It. densinervis, Feist. 



Cyclopitys dichotoma, Feist. 



In the same year, Zeiller 3 drew attention to the importance of 

 this discovery, and especially commented on the occurrence of 

 Bhi-pidopsis ginkgoides, a plant already known from the Permian 

 of Russia. 



HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION. 



The two largest collections of fossil plants from Gondwanaland 

 described here are the Hunter collection from India, and the 

 Odinheimer collection from New South Wales, which, although 

 not important in respect of types or figured specimens, contain 

 many representative examples of the flora. 



Hunter Collection. This collection, made by the Rev. R. Hunter, 

 a missionary stationed at Nagpur, was chiefly derived from the 

 Lower Gondwana rocks of that district. The geology of the 

 Nagpur area was described by Hislop & Hunter 4 in 1855, and, 

 in 1861, Bunbury 3 published an account of the fossil plants 

 obtained by these authors. The important types and figured 

 specimens described by Bunbury are preserved in the Museum of
