42 INTEODTJCTIOST. 



In the following list a few species are enumerated for comparison 

 with British Lower Oolite forms. 1 



Alethopteris australis, Morr. (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and 



Tasmania) ; cf. Cladophlebis denticulata (Brongn.). 

 Equisetum rotiferum, Ten. -Woods; cf. Equisetites columnaris, Brongn. (smaller 



form). 



Sphenopterishastata, McCoy j rf< C miopteris hymenophylloides (Brongn.). 



S. germana, McCoy ) 



Sagenopteris rhoifolia, Presl ; cf. S. Phillipsi (Brongn.). 



Podozamites lanceolatus =. ? P. lanceolatus (L. & H.). 



Ptilophyllum oligoneurum, Ten. -Woods; cf. Williamsonia pecten (Phill.). 



Otozamites Mandelslohi, Kurr. 



Jtanpaulia bidens, Ten. -Woods; cf. Baiera gracilis, Bunb. 



Phlebopteris alethopter aides, Eth. ; 2 cf. Laccopteris polypodioides (Brongn.). 



Since the publication of Feistmantel's work several species of 

 Queensland plants have been recorded by Jack & Etheridge a 

 in their Geology of Queensland and New Guinea. More recently 

 specimens have been collected by the staff of the Geological 

 Survey, and some of these are described by Shirley 4 in a paper 

 contained in Bulletin No. 7 of the Queensland Geological Survey. 

 Some of the species of Ginkgo and Baiera instituted by this author 

 are founded on imperfect specimens hardly worthy of being raised 

 to the rank of type-specimens. Among the leaves referred to 

 these two genera there are some examples which bear a fairly 

 close resemblance to Baiera gracilis, Bunb., e.g. Ginkgo Widens 

 (Ten. -Woods) and Baiera ipsviciensis, Shir. A fragment named 

 Dictyophyllum Bremereme may be compared with D. rugosum, 

 L. & H., and a leaf figured as Sagenopteris rhoifolia recalls 

 S. Phillipsi (Brongn.). The specimens described as Beania 

 geminata afford little or no evidence of generic identity with 

 Carruthers' genus. Some of the fossils figured by these authors 

 are referred to in the descriptive part of the Catalogue.
