( Angiopteridium ) spathulatum from Talbragar. The specimens of Tceniopteris 
sp. are those noted by Professor David and Mr. Pittman as having a “ goffered ” 
margin. It is interesting to note that examination of the numerous specimens 
of Tceniopteris from Talbragar led Mr. Dun to conclude that the Australian 
T . Daintreei, McCoy, was synonymous with the Indian T .spathulatum, McClelland. 
He says (pp. 392-3), “ . . . and after an examination of a large number 
of specimens from the Jurassic beds of the Talbragar River and comparison 
with Victorian and Queensland specimens we are, T consider, compelled to admit 
that the Eastern Australian Tceniopteris, hitherto known generally as Daintreei, 
McCoy, is nothing but the variable Australian representative of the Indian 
A mji opt eridium spat hulatum , M cClel land .’ ’ 
In his memoir on the Geology and Mineral Resources of the Western 
Coalfield , 1 Mr. J. E. Carne quotes the lists of fossils already referred to, and 
agrees with the conclusions of Professor David and Mr. Pittman as to the age 
of the Talbragar Beds. 
In 1918, in drawing up a correlation of the various Mesozoic Plant- 
bearing beds of Australia, I placed the Talbragar Beds as Jurassic and 
equivalent to the Clarence Series and Artesian Series of New South Wales, 
and the Walloon Series in Queensland. 2 At the time of drawing up that table, 
no further information was available than is comprised in the lists quoted 
above. 
In connection with the correlation of the Talbragar Beds with the 
Ipswich Series in Queensland by earlier authors, it should be remembered that 
up till at least 1907 (lie beds known as the Ipswich Series included rocks of 
both Triassic and Jurassic Ages. The term Ipswich Series is now confined 
to the lower portion, of Triassic age, while the upper portion is of Jurassic age, 
and is known as the Walloon Series. Both contain abundant plant fossils, 
and they are separated by a series of barren sandstones — the Bundamba 
Series. 3
