Tasmania, the Talchir, and Raniganj, in India, and the coal measures 
of Argentina. 
17. Glossopteris occidentalis, related to Glossopteris stricta from 
the Raniganj of India and the upper Permian of Russia. 
18. Gangamopteris obovata, (= cyclopteroides var. attenuata and 
var. major ), from the Talchir, Karharbari, Barakar and Raniganj 
' in India, the Newcastle group, New South Wales, the Mersey 
coalfield, Tasmania, the Beaufort in Cape Colony, the Ecca shales 
in the Transvaal, the coal measures of Argentina, and the upper 
Permian of Russia. 
19. Noeggerathiopsis Hislopi from the Talchir, Karhabari and 
Barakar of India, the Newcastle series in New South Wales, the 
Mersey River series of Tasmania, the Ecca beds of South Africa, the 
coal measures of Argentina, and the Rhetic of Tonquin. 
20. Arberia minasica, very closely related to Arberia indica, 
from the Talchir-Karharbari of India. 
21. Ottokaria ovalis, related to Ottokaria bengalensis from the 
Karharbari of India. 
22. Cardiocarpon Seixvasi, related to forms in the Karharbari of 
India, and 
23. Hastimima Whitei, possibly related to Dictyopteridium 
sporiferum from the Talchir and Raniganj groups of India. 
Correlations. 
The examination of the distribution of the species in the 
Gondwana system of India shows a most intimate relation of our 
flora with that of the Talchir-Karharbari and Damuda groups. In 
its restricted composition and in its dominant elements the flora 
of the Brazilian coal group appears to be most closely allied to that 
of the Talchir-Karharbari series. That a relatively large portion of 
these species occurs in the Damuda series also, and particularly in 
the Barakar group, is probably due to the far richer flora of the 
Damuda as compared with the more restricted Karharbari and the 
relatively meager fiora of the Talchir group. We may therefore 
conclude that in India the equivalent of the Brazilian coal-bearing 
group is to be found in the Talchir-Karharbari series. The evidence 
of the larger collections in hand is thus found to corroborate the 
conclusions earlier reached by Zeiller as to the age of the coals in 
Rio Grande do Sul.
