Sp. Char.— Frond elongately obovate, simple, base attenuate, 
apex (!) ; rachis thick, grooved or striated ; veins emerging at an 
angle of twenty to twenty-five degrees, close, near the rachis 0°6 
to 08 mm. apart, slender, dichotomous towards the margin.”— 
Feistmantel. 
In Dr. Feistmantel’s memoir this species is recorded from the 
Gib Tunnel, near Bowral, in the Wianamatta shales. Tenison- 
Woods records it from the Wianamatta of Kenny’s Hill, and also 
from Mount Victcria.* The same author, in his ‘“‘ Memoir on the 
Fossil Flora of the Coal Deposits of Australia,” quoted above, 
says he has “some similar specimens from near Ipswich, but the 
dichotomy of the veins is near the rachis, and it may be a distinct 
species.” The specimen figured by Mr. C. S. Wilkinsony is also 
from Gib Tunnel, and though imperfect tends to show that the 
form of the apex was ovate. It also has been found at Camper- 
down. Mr. Wilkinson mentions it as occurring at Parramatta 
and Nattai, also in the Wianamatta.t A Macroteniopteris also 
occurs in the Narrabeen Beds, but it is not yet certain to whicb. 
species it belongs. 
In Queensland it occurs at Ipswich, and Mr. Etheridge, who 
records it in the ‘“ Geology and Paleontology of Queensland,’§ is 
of opinion that remarks as to the possibilities of it (the Queens- 
land species) being a new species are unfounded. It has also 
been found in the Leigh’s Creek Coal-field, South Australia.||

Sp. Char.— Frond very large, single, strong, thick, and 
coriaceous, broad, elongately obovate; margins plain; apex obtusely 
rounded, not re-entrant ; midrib distinct, but not wide for the size 
of the frond, vertically ridged ; veins, except near the apex, diverg- 
ing at a right angle, or nearly so, very strong; distant from one to 
one and a half millimetres apart, very regular and direct in their 
course, simple or forked ; dichotomisation at irregular intervals, 
but always dividing close to the midrib.”—Ltheridge.
