stalk, the net-venation, and the midrib vanishing towards the apex, seem to 

 justify my placing this form under Sagenopteris, Bgt. 



Sageistopteris poltphylla, Feistm., PL XX, Figs. 5, 6. 



Foliis pluribios in pedunculo communi insertis, ohlongis, distincte 

 pedunculatis ; nervo medio apicem versus evanescente ; nervis secundariis 

 anastomosantiom. 



I have given as complete a diagnosis as possible from the two speci- 

 mens figured in the present paper, but as it is have been obliged to take 

 some of the characters from McClelland's original specimens of Glossopteris 

 oca id is, which are in our Museum, and of which it is my intention to give 

 better figiues in my monograph. 



The two specimens figured from Mr. "Wood- Mason's collection certainly 

 belong to the same species. 



They differ from Glossopteris by their net- venation and by the midrib 

 vanishing towards the apes. The specimens here figured are basal portions 

 of leaves and well show the stalk. Their relative position to each other 

 on the stone is such as to lead one to stippose they were inserted on a 

 common stalk. 



With this I will rest satisfied at present. Sagenopteris is a Bhaetic 

 and Liassie form, and I do not think anybody can consider our form as 

 Palasozoic. 



I think that amongst the Baniganj fossils in the Geological Museum 

 will be perhaps some more forms of this genus, but as these are still unde- 

 scribed, I will not mention them here. 



Of other ferns, which are also from the Baniganj group, and which I 

 have partially described, I may on account of the connection also mention 



Actenopteris Bengalensis, Feistm. 

 1876. Feistmantel Rec. Geol. S. Ind. IX. 3. p. 76. 



In my note (1. c.) I have given a diagnosis of this fern and have here 

 nothing to add. I will describe the species fully in a future paper and give 

 a figure of it. 



I now give a general list of the ferns as I did in the case of the 

 Fquisetaceae.
