Unknown object. 
PL 6, fig. i6. 
In pl. 6 , fig. l6, is figured an object of obscure nature and affinities. It consists 
of a somewhat curved axial part, which bears on the convex side, along the whole 
of its length, a lamina or a series of continuous fringe-like appendages. It is not 
probable that it is a continuous lamina, since it seems rather thick and is coarsely 
and irregularly striated in an almost perpendicular direction from the axis to the 
margin. On the other hand, if the axis bears a great number of individual append- 
ages, these must be intergrown with each other or else very densely placed and 
superimposed on the impression, because they completely cover the surface of the 
rock. The real nature of the object is quite unknown. 
Unknown object. 
PI. 6, figs. 14, 14 a. 
The specimen figured in pl. 6, fig. 14, is too small and fragmentary to permit 
of any determination. It consists of a broad axial part, curved to the right and 
bearing on its convex side appendages which are much narrower and which may 
possibly be pinnae. They show a faint longitudinal striation, suggestive of venation ; 
the insertion is by the whole of the slightly expanded base. The unilateral aspect 
is probably due only to the preservation. 
The fragment might possibly be compared with a small frond of a Ctenophyllum : 
but this is not certain, and the axis is remarkably thick. One might think also of 
a branch of the rachis of a Dictyophyllum but on the whole this seems more im- 
probable.

There are in the collection several specimens of scales of coniferous cones, the 
best ones figured in pl. 8, figs. 3 — 10. They may with some confidence be referred 
to the Indian Araucarites cutchensis Feistm.
