“ Frond of medium size, oblong spathulatc with a costa which becomes 
merged in the tissue above, but it is formed in the lower part of pairs of 
areolar spaces, which arc oblong; higher up are similar spaces, but shorter 
and somewhat polygonal. Veins arising at an acute angle from the median 
areolar sjiaces, dichotomous, anastomosing and forming an oblong network.” 
Ohs. — This is a most interesting form, especially from the peculiar 
formation of the midrib ; and there is no other Indian or Australian similar 
species. 
Locality and Horizon. — At Greta, New South Wales (Lower Coal 
Measures), Middle and Upper Carboniferous.

PL XX, Fig. 4. 
Ohs. — The above figured specimen was originally mentioned only 
as Glossopteris, sp., but a renewed examination shows that the costa does in 
the apical portion dissolve into the secondary veins, while it is altogether 
rather thin. Thus it resembles somewhat the genus Gangamopteris , on 
account of which I now distinguish it by the above specific name. 
Locality and Horizon. — In the Newcastle beds (Upper Coal Measures) 
at Bowenfels, New South Wales (? Permian).
