That better-preserved material does exist is shown 
by the specimens collected by Daintree and presented by 
him to the National Museum in Melbourne; these were 
described by Mr. F. Chapman in 1904.* Future collecting 
may bring to light further well-preserved specimens. 
The approximate distribution of floras of similar 
general character to this Queensland flora is indicated in 
figure 1. 
(b) The Permo-Carboniferous flora. In Queensland 
there are many localities where typical members of the 
Glossopteris flora are found, but, as with the Carboniferous 
flora, little work has been carried out for many years 
past, and it is probable that a revision of the accumulated 
material would result in numerous alterations and 
additions. The widespread genus Glossopteris is typical 
of these occurrences, and there is at present no evidence 
of this genus transgressing the limits of the so-called 
Permo-Carboniferous System in Queensland, though it 
has been found in Triassic rocks in South Africa and Tonkin. 
Gangamopteris, which is usually associated with Glossopteris 
in this flora, has not yet been recorded in Queensland, but 
I have had the privilege of examining specimens of this 
genus obtained from near Warwick by Mr. J. Harward. 
The following is a list of the species known in this 
flora in Queensland :— 
Phyllotheca dustralis Glossopteris communis 
Archeocalamites scrobiculatus * elegans 
Sphenophyllum speciosum of indica 
Sphenopteris alata es linearis 
5p crebra 5. parallela 
ae flexuosa As Wilkinsona 
» sp. Vertebraria sp. 
oe (Mertensia) lobifolia Cycadospermum Dawsoni 
Gangamopteris sp. Cordaites australis 
Glossopteris ampla Noeggerathiopsis sp. 
‘ Browniana Araucarioxylon Daintreei 
An indeterminable fragment recorded from Bett’s Creek 
as ¢ Alethopteris is not included in the above list. 
In the Permo-Carboniferous System there are two 
series in which this flora is present, viz. :—The Lower
