Sp. Char. — Eroncle spathulata, symmetrica, sequilaterali, ohtusc acumi-

Gangamopteris, sp. 
Gangamopteris, sp., Clarke, llev. W. B. On the Occurrence and Geological Position of Oil- 
hearing Deposits in N. S. Wales (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., London, 1866, pp. 439-448). 
Ohs. — In the above paper (see Lit., No. 25) Mr. Clarke mentioned at 
two places in the Upper Coal Measures the occurrence of Gangamopteris. 
I have already mentioned the case, but shall point to it here again. 
On the Nattai Liver there occurs cannel coal within the strata of the 
Upper Coal Measures ; and from some of the shales of the coal seams Mr. 
Clarke procured Glossopteris, and M'Coy’s Gangamopteris. Similarly there 
occurs cannel coal also at Pteedy Creek, belonging to the Upper Coal 
Measures,* and in the shales above it there were Vertehraria, Glossopteris, 
and Gangamopteris, M £ Coy. 
It appears that these forms of Gangamopteris are such as occur in 
Victoria, although no species is named ; so that this is again one point more 
for the correlation of the Newcastle beds (Upper Coal Measures) and Bacchus 
Marsh beds (above the conglomerates). 
Genus — SAGENOPTEPvIS, Lresl. 
Ohs. — This is also a fern with a net venation, but the frond is three- or 
quadri-lobate, the single leaflets are deciduous and variable in their form. 
* [Mr. C. S. Wilkinson desires it to be known that the measuses developed at these localities, Nattai River 
and Reedy Creek, are the Lower Coal Measures and not the Upper, more recent surveys than those of the 
late Rev. Mr. Clarke having shown this to be the case. — R. E., jun.]
