Some pieces of greenish coloured sandstone from the Baron 

 River show several recognisable leaves of this species. Their 

 nervation is beautifully contrasted in white on the dark green sand- 

 stone surface. It is of interest to note the occurrence of what 

 appears to be an imbricated stem, resembling a terminal spike of 

 Lepidodendron, on one of the slabs with the Glossopteris ; but it 

 is not sufficiently well preserved to enable one to determine its 

 relationship with certainty.

In the present collection there are two pieces of sandstone 

 bearing impressions of the leaves of the above species. This form 

 has previously been recorded from the Bowen River Coal Field, 

 at Coral Creek, by Etheridge and Jack.

A specimen of sandstone from the Queensland collection bears 

 portions of seven leaves on its surface, three of which are 

 sufficiently complete to show their characteristic elongate form. 

 The nervation of the leaves is clearly marked, and compares 

 closely with the examples of G. parallela, figured and described 

 by Feistmantel. The parallel character of the nervation is seen 

 at a glance, and is due to the elongation of the polygonal areas
