Conclusions. 



1. Mr. Wood- Mason's collection has yielded 14 species, two belonging 

 to the Equisetacese, and 12 being ferns. 



2. Amongst these fourteen are two new genera (besides a new type of 

 Alethojpteris) and seven new species. The collection, therefore, increases 

 considerably our previous knowledge of Eaniganj plants. 



3. The character of the whole flora is mezozoic. The prevalence of 

 ferns with net- venation (not being Glossopteris), and the occurrence of 

 Taeniopteris especially shows this. . 



4. But also Glossopteris has shown some differences as compared with 

 those in Australia : I refer to the marginated margin in Glossopteris
