costa thick; veins reversed at the base, diverging from the: 
costa, neatly reticulate, with narrow, oblong interspaces. 
Considered to be a variety of G. ampla, by Feistmantel.

GLOSSOPTERIS TMHNIOPTEROIDES (Feistmantel). 
Frond simple, elegant in form, oblong, ovato-spathulate, 
attenuate at the base ; costa valid, striate or grooved. Veins: 
emerging at nearly a right angle, giving at first sight the: 
appearance of a Tceniopteris. Under the lens the venation is 
seen to form an oblong, narrow, obliquely acute parallel net- 
work which is sometimes indistinctly polygonal. The costais 
stiff and straight. Only one specimen was known to Dr.. 
Feistmantel, which came from Blackman’s Swamp Coal Beds.

Guossopreris Witkinsont (Feistmantel). 
Frond extremely narrow, sub-parallel, strap-shaped, costa 
distinct, produced at the apex; veins sub-horizontal, 
dichotomous, anastomosing usually once near the apex, 
forming an oblong network, with a few smaller meshes 
towards the margin of the rhachis.

GLOSSOPTERIS PARALLELA (Feistmantel). 
Frond very long, simple, elongately ovate, apex unknown ; 
costa distinct, grooved in the middle. Veins emerging at an. 
angle of 30 deg., in the lower portion, and at an angle 
of 20 deg. in the upper portion of the frond, dicho- 
tomous parallel, but anastomosing, forming a distinct oblong: 
polygonal net, which is narrower towards the margin.

GLOSSOPTERIS ELEGANS (Feistmantel).

similar spaces, but shorter and somewhat polygonal. Veins.
