exhibited to the underlying 1 and overlying strata than was formerly 

 suspected, have made it more convenient to use only group-names in 

 comparing the succession of deposits in the separate basins. But,

 Damiida will still be borne on the strength of our vocabulary, when 

 reference is made to the published accounts of those localities in which 

 the word is used. 



The same considerations suggested the employment of a single name to 

 embrace the entire succession of deposits ordinarily included under the 

 designation of the great plant-bearing series. The term proposed in 

 1872 and adopted is that of Gondwana. The 

 following table gives a general view of the divi- 

 sions and sub-divisions of this series in the several regions in which it 

 has been examined : —
