As already pointed out\ some of the specimens of fiat and 

 broader stems referred by Feistmantel to Schizoneura are

 duced. ) 



identical in appearance with stems which have been described 

 from India and elsewhere as species of Phyllotheca. 



There are a few specimens of S. gondwanensis in the 

 British Museum, but the genus is poorly represented in Euro- 

 pean collections. 



A similar plant was described in 1844 by Schimper and 

 Mougeof* from the Bunter rocks of the Vosgcs as Schizo- 

 neura paradoxa. This species bears a very close rescmbhince 

 to the Indian forms, and indeed it is difficult to point to any 

 distinction of taxonomic importance. Feistmantel considt^re
