128 PAT.JF.OVITTARIA. 



This frond, however, appears to me to be hardly worthy of specific 

 distinction. 



Distribution. — Teeniopteris IV Clellandi occurs in the Rajmahal 

 Series (Jurassic) of the Upper Gondwanas in India, and in beds 

 of Rhaetic age in Tonquin. Fronds somewhat similar to those of 

 the Mesozoic species occur in the Raniganj Group of the Damuda 

 division in the JSagpur district, and in the South Rewah Basin 

 in India. 



V. 7133. Small fragments of a Teeniopteris of a rather narrow 

 type. The lateral nerves are fine, and fairly distant from each 

 other. These specimens may be compared with T. M' Clellandi, 

 especially with the figures given by Feistmantel (80), pi. xxiA, 

 figs. 4-7, of the species. The veins do not appear to branch quite 

 so close to the midrib as in T. danmoides.

V. 7132. A very fragmentary portion of a frond, showing only 

 the midrib and a few indistinct nerves on one side. This specimen 

 is probably of the same nature as the last.

]\IcCoy, a few years ago, recorded the first Teeniopteris of 

 Permo-Carboniferous age known from Australia, which he named 

 T. tSweeti. Judging, however, from his text-figure, the specimen 

 is too fragmentary to permit of an accurate specific diagnosis, and 

 I prefer to term it Teeniopteris, sp., for the present. This genus 

 occurs rarely with Gangamopteris in the Bacchus Marsh Sandstones 

 of Victoria.
