describes the occurrence of a transitional zone between the Molteno 

 and the Burghersdorp Beds. The following species are described : — 



(A) Molteno Beds. 



Schizoneura Carrerei, Zeill. 



Schizoneura s,\). 



TkitmfeUia odontoptermdes (Morr.). 



Thinnfeldia sp. 



Thiiwfddia sp. nov. 



Taniopieris Carruthersi, Ten.Woods 

 Cladophlebis ( Todites) Bcesserti 



(Presl). 

 FteraphyUum ep. 

 Baiera sp. nov. 



Schizoneura sp. 



Ihinvfeldia sp. nov. 



TcBiiiopteris Carruthersi, Ten.Woods, 



BancBopsis Huyhesii, Feist. 



Odontopteris sp. noT. 



(B) Burghersdorp Beds. 



Strohilites sp. nor. 



Pierophi/llum sp. cf. Pt. Tielsii, 



Sclienk. 

 Stiymatodendron sp. nov. 



A description is also given of Schizoneura africana, Feistmantel, 

 a species originally figured by Hooker in an appendix to Bain's 

 paper, published in 1845. 



The additional plants recorded from the Molteno Beds afford 

 further evidence in favour of assigning this member of the Slormberg 

 Series to the Rhjetic Period. While possessing certain Khaetic 

 species, the Burghersdorp flora as a whole indicates a somewhat 

 lower horizon. 



2. 'Permo-Carboniferous Plants from Vereeniging (South Africa).' 

 By Prof. Albert Charics Seward, M.A., F.K.S., F.G.S,, and 

 Thomas Nicholas Leslie, F.G.S. 



The majority of the specimens described in this paper were 

 obtained by Mr. Leslie from a sandstone-quarry 1| miles from 

 Vereeniging, on the banks of the Klip Kiver ; the sandstones are 

 associated with shales, coal-seams, and glacial conglomerates. In 

 the opinion of the Authors, the plant-beds should be included in 

 the Ecca Series (Lower Karroo). AVliile recognizing certain well- 

 marked differences between the Glossoi<ttris-^ox'A& and the Upper 

 Carboniferous and Permian floras of the ^'o^theru hemisphere, they 

 are inclined to think that there are more types common to the two 

 botanical provinces than is generally supposed. 



The following species have been recognized at Vereeniging : — 



Schizoneura sp. 



Glosfopferis angustifolia, Brongn., 



var. nov. 

 Glossopteris angustifolia, Brongn. 

 Glassopteris Browniana, Brongn. 

 Glossopteris indica, Schiinp. 

 Glossapteris sp. cf. Gl. retifcra. Feist. 

 Gangomopterts ci/clopteroides, Feist. 

 Callipteridium sp. 



Xeitropteriditim validiim. Feist. 

 Bothrodendron Leslii, Sew. 



* Lepidodcudron sp. nov. 



* Lepidodendrvn Pedroanum (Carr.). 

 Sigitlaria Brardi. Brongn. 

 Psi/gmophyllum Kidsimti, Sew. 

 Cordaites (yaggerathiopsis) Hislopi 



(Bunb.). 

 Conites sp. 



Those marked with an asterisk are recorded for the first time.
