BY E. M. JOHNSTON, F.L.S. 13 



narrow, only slightly broader close to the mid-rib. Large 

 specimen, 14 inches long ; breadth at greatest diameter, 2-f- 

 inches. Locality, dark shales, associated with Carboniferous 

 Marine Beds, near junction of Henty and Badger River. 



Glossopteeis ovata. Nov. sp. 



Frond, broadly-ovate; margin, slightly undulating; apex 

 rounded, not produced ; costa, moderately thick towards base, 

 diminishing, but extending to apex ; veins, closely parallel, 

 diverging from costa at an angle from 11 deg. to 22 deg. ; 

 anastomoses, obscure, but do not appear to be frequent. 

 Specimen, 9 inches long, greatest breadth at middle of frond, 

 4 inches. The broad, rounded form, obscure anastomoses, and 

 the low angle at which the sharp veins diverge from mid-rib, 

 seems to justify the separation from G. ampla to which it is 

 most closely related. 



Locality. — Henty River Lower Coal measures. 



Fagus Jonesii. Nov. sp. 



Leaves, very minute, shortly petiolate, broadly ovate or 

 deltoid, flat, or slightly convex, coriaceous : margin, strongly 

 dentate : mid-rib, somewhat prominent : primary veins, 

 scarcely visible. Lignite Beds, Henty River. 



Acacia Meieingii. Nov. sp. 



Phyllodium, lanceolate : apex obtuse, narrowed towards the 

 base ; slightly coriaceous, with five fine longitudinal nerves. 



Anastomosing veins appear to be much closer and finer 

 than in the existing A. melanoxlyon with which this form 

 seems to be closely allied. 



Length, 3| inches ; breadth at middle, f inch. 



Locality. — Lignite Beds, Henty River ; associated with 

 leaves of extinct species.
