GLOSSOFTERIS. 63 



are rather narrow, but the leaf probably belongs to this species. 

 A number of elliptical or circular holes occur in the lamina on 

 either side of the midrib, which are probably due to tearing of the 

 frond, and have no connection with the fructification.

V. 2465. Fronds of G. Drowniana occur on this specimen in 

 association with G. conspicua and G. retifera. 



Mill Kiver Drift, Harrismith. Pres. by D. Draper, Esq., 1890. 



Glossopteris, sj)., from the Transraal and Oranye Ricer Colony. 



Fronds with the nervation imperfectly preserved : — V. 8319 and 

 V. 8320 (Yereeniging ; pres. by Dr. F. H. Hatch, 1898), V. 3624 

 (Vereeniging ; pres. by D. Draper, Esq., 1897), V. 2902 

 (several specimens from Mill River Ford, Harrismith ; pres. by 

 D. Draper, Esq., 1893). 



Glossopteris, sp., from Rhodesia. 



V. 7592. This specimen shows two fair- sized fragments of 

 lanceolate or oval leaves. The lateral nervation is unfortunately 

 not preserved, but the form of the leaf suggests a comparison with 

 G. Browniam or G. indica. In describing this specimen in 1903, 1 

 1 pointed out that parallel rows of small oval or circular pro- 

 tuberances, minute knobs, or dot-like pits, occur along the midrib 

 and the lamina bordering on the midrib. I suggested provisionally 

 that these might have some connection with the fructification. 

 A more extended examination of these specimens has not supported 

 this view, but I am still unable to account for the features 

 presented by these fronds.
