Genus Glossopteris, Bgt. This genus (a single leaf, with a distinct 
midrib and netted secondary venation) is in Australia very 
numerous. ‘This genus was one of the chief reasons of the 
08s 
and consequently considered the pbs beds (including 
the Newcastle beds) as palewozoic. So much is certain, that 
Glossopteris in Australia does occur in certain s below 
marine beds with a paleozoic fauna, and the Neweastle beds 
most probably belong yet to the paleozoic epoch, but in any 
case I should think them m younger than those beds below 
marine fauna. In India it is chiefly known from the Lower 
Gondwana system (and here in the Damuda series), but a few
