Tasmania ; on the Clarence River, in New South Wales, where it occurs 
together with Tccnioplcris Daintreei ; at Ipswich and the Darling Downs, 
Queensland. 
Alethopteris Cueeani, Ten. Woods. 
Alethopteris Currant, Tenison Woods, loc. cit., 1S83, p. 113, 1’ ! . G, f. 4. 
Obs. — According to Mr. Tenison Woods the fossil appears to have 
belonged to the division Tecopteris acrostichkles, Schimpcr, in which the 
frond, which is pinnate and hipinnate, lias the pinnules adherent by the 
Avholc base and continent. The veins are slender, costa disappearing near the 
apex, the veins forking. Of the sori nothing is known, and the relations may 
have been, as in other members of the genus, with Asplenium. In this case 
the secondary pinnules only arc seen in the apex of what has been probably 
a portion of the frond. The pinnules are falcate oblique, oblong lanceolate, 
slightly serrated at the upper edge, rounded at the apex into a blunt point, 
nearly opposite, adherent by the whole base, confluent. Costa of the pinnules 
emerging from the rachis at a very acute angle ; veins few, conspicuous, 
forking once, the venules reaching the margin at the re-entering angle of 
the serrations, apical pinnules acute. Length of fragment, 25 ; greatest 
width, 15; length of longest pinnule, 10; width of base, G; all millimetres. 
Locality and Horizon. — In the Baltimore Coal-field, New South Wales; 
Ilawkesbury rocks (Mesozoic).* 
Alethopteris concinna, Ten. Woods. 
AlcfJiop/eris concinna , Tenison Woods, loc. cit., 1883, p. 112, PI. 9, f. 1. 
Sp. Char. — “ Frond hipinnate, with rather long, rounded and obtuse 
leaflets ; costa faint ; veins numerous and close, emerging at an acute angle, 
forking once; the venules very close and parrallel, reaching the margin.” 
Locality and Horizon . — Not quite certain — cither from Baltimore Mine, 
Talbragar River, or from Ipswich, Queensland. 
Genus— PECOPTERIS, Brongniart. 
Obs . — I do not think any of the true species of this genus occur in 
Australia, the one here alluded to being very doubtful.
