Vol. 58. ] OF FOSSIL PLANTS FROM NEW SOUTH WALES, 5 
included under Bazera, to which genus this plant belongs. It is 
unfortunate also, as Feistmantel remarked, that the name Baiera 
palmata had already been adopted by Heer’ for a fossil from the 
Jurassic of Siberia. | 
Mr. Seward & Miss Gowan’, in their recent monograph on 
Ginkgo, have pointed out that Salisburia palmata, Ratte, bears 
“a close resemblance’ to Fontaine’s Baiera multifida from Virginia. 
I have carefully compared the figures and descriptions of these two 
plants, and I am unable to find any real distinction between them. 
In the American specimens the ultimate segments appear to be 
somewhat narrower, and less deeply cut towards the petiole. 
Fontaine’s figures, however, appear to be rather carelessly executed, 
and probably do not represent the true outline of the specimens. 
I therefore propose to adopt Fontaine’s name for the Australian 
plant, which, being prior to Ratte’s, solves the difficulty of nomen- 
clature. 
The Cambridge specimen is a fragment showing part of the petiole, 
and portions of the palmate divisions. 
With Barera multifida may be compared Baiera (?) Steinmanni, 
described by Count H. zu Solms-Laubach,? from the Rheetic of Chile, 
and Ginkgo Simmondsi, Shirley,* from the Trias of Queensland.
