486 Dr. 0. Feistmantel — The Flora of E. Australia. 



Fossil plants, described by Mr. Carruthers (from Tivoli Mines) : 

 Pecopteris (Thinnfeldia) odontopteroides, Morr. (Fstm.) ; Tceniopteris 

 Daintreei, Cai'r., 1 Cyclopteris cuneata, Carr., Sphenopteris elongata, 

 Carr., Cardiocarpum australe, Carr. 



In Mr. Clarke's second collection there were several specimens 

 from near Talgai, and I determined the following : Tceniopteris 

 Daintreei. M'Coy (the original form), Sagenopteris rhoifolia, Presl, 

 and an Otozamites 2 (comp. MandelsloM, Kurr.). These beds are 

 equivalent with the Upper Mesozoic beds in New South Wales, 

 Victoria and Tasmania (see Daintree, I.e. p. 288). 



2. Carboniferous (Palaeozoic). — The northern Coal-fields in 

 Queensland (Daintree, I.e. pp. 273, 285, etc.). 



Plants, generically only mentioned : Glossopteris, Schizopteris, 

 Pecopteris, etc. 



Apparently on the horizon of the " Lower Coal-measures " in 

 New South Wales. 



3. Devonian (Daintree, I.e. pp. 273, 288-9), etc. 

 Localities : Mount Wyatt, Canoona and Broken Eiver, etc. 

 Fossil Plants : Lepidodendron nothum,JJng. (Carr), Cyclostigma, sp. 

 Equivalent: The Devonian beds (Goonoo-Goonoo), with the same 



plants in New South Wales. 



II. New South Wales. 



For stratigraphical descriptions, see Strzelecki, 3 Dana, 4 Clarke, 5 

 and Wilkinson. 6 Plants were described by Morris (in Strzelecki, 

 I.e.), Dana (I.e.), M'Coy (I.e.), and lately by myself. 7 Some fishes 

 were described by Dana (I.e.), and Sir P. Egerton. 8 



1. Mesozoic (see Wilkinson, I.e. p. 127). Certain beds on the 

 Clarence Eiver — with Tceniopteris Daintreei, M'Coy (the real form), 

 and Alethopteris australis, Morr. 



These beds are to be classed with Mr. Daintree's Tceniopteris-beds 

 in Queensland. Other equivalents : Upper Mesozoic beds in 

 Victoria and Tasmania. 



2. Wianamatta and Eawhesbury beds (see Clarke, I.e. pp. 70 and 

 72), classed under the heading " Mesozoic, or Secondary formations" 

 (Clarke, I.e. p. 68 et seq.), and in another place as " Supra- 

 Carboniferous " (Clarke, I.e. p. 155). 



Localities: Clark's Hill, Paramatta, etc., Wianamatta beds; — 

 Cockatoo Island, Mt. Victoria, etc., Hawkesbury beds. 



Fossils : Fishes and Plants. 



Fisbes partly heterocercal. Of plants I mention now Pecopteris 

 odontopteroides, Morr., 9 only ; this species is not known lower than the 



1 This seems to differ from M'Coy's original form from Victoria. 



2 These two are new for Australia. 



3 Physic. Descr. of N. S. Wales and Van Diemans Land, 1845. 



4 United States Exploring Expedition, Geology, 1849. 



5 Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. vol. xx. ser. 2, 1847. 



6 In Mines and Miner. Statistics of. N. S. Wales, 1 875. 



7 Paheontographica, 1878-79. 



8 On some Ichthyolites from New S. Wales Q. J. G. S. vol. xx. 1864, p. 1. 



9 I class it with Thinnfeldia.
