nervation and form to those illustrated by Zeiller (1) and Seward (2) 
from South Africa. The proportions and aspect of. this specimen 
strongly suggest some of the very large lingulate forms of Neuropteris 
Scheuchsert in the upper Stephanian of the Eastern United States. 
The specimens illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 exhibit a shorter 
and more distinct mesh. These are comparable in particular to some 
of those figured by Feistmantel from the Raniganj group in India (3) 
and from Australia (4) and by Arber (5) from the Newcastle series, 
They also conform in characters to some of the specimens brought hack 
by Dana from the Wilkes Exploring Expedition. 
Glossopteris Browniana is distinguished from other species of the 
genus in Brazil by its spatulate or elongated-oval leaves, which are 
obtuse, and by the nearly even distribution of the rather narrowly 
elongated angular meshes throughout the arched and not very close 
nervation . 
Although Giossopteris Browniana is reported from Argentina, it 
is interesting to observe the presence of this most common and 
characteristic species of the Glossopterts flora as far north as Minas in 
Santa Catharina, where, as in La Rioja, Argentina, it lies in the zone of 
mingled Northern and Gondwana types.
