8p. Char. “ Broad stems two or three indies wide, with numerous small close 
ribs.” 
Ohs. There are, according to the describer, about twenty ribs to an inch. It 
is compared to 'Eqidsetum MougeotH, Brong., a Trias fossil of the Vosges. The Mining 
and Geological Museum, Sydney, contains examples of an Egnisetum, believed to bo 
this species, eight inches in length and two and a half in width, and bearing about the 
same number of delicate ribs to the inch as mentioned by Mr. Woods. The mean of a 
number of computations is twenty-three.

Ohs. PTiyllotheca has been described as a Queensland genus by the late Eev. 
J. E. T. Woods, hut his remarks are somewhat contradictory as to its occurrence. In the 
early part (p. 18) of his Memoir “ On the Fossil Flora of the Coal Deposits of Australia”! 
he quotes Phyllotlieea concinna as found in the Ipswich Beds, hut later (p. 39), when this 
species is described, its range is confined to the llawkeshury Sandstone of New South 
Wales. 
Again he says, “ For my own part, after a careful search, I have never found any 
true or characteristic PTiyllotheca in the Ipswueh Coal Beds.” Then ivhy describe the 
following species immediately after, as he does, without a note of interrogation after 
tho genus. Phyllotlieea was identified by the Eev. Author from the Cooktown Coal 
Beds* (Permo-Carboniferous), but this was abandoned in his larger Memoir.

Ehyllotheca carnosa, Ten, Woods, Proc, Linn. Soc. N, S. Wales, 1883, viii., Pt. 1, p. 75, t. 9, f. 2. 
Ohs. This species was named from a faint impression, imperfect, but showing 
a “ close succession of verticillate leaves, which radiate very slightly from the stem. 
They are close, obtuse, about half a millimetre wide, and five long. They form five cup- 
shaped divisions on a stem thirty-five millimetres long and ten wide.” It is considered 
by Mr. Woods to be an ally of P. rohusta of the Indian Lias. The specimens at present 
in the Macleay Museum are quite unworthy of a name. 
Loc. Walloon Mine, Ipswich (The late Rev. J. E. T. Woods ; Macleay Museum, 
University of Sydney).

Ohs. A few small whorls of lanceolate leaves have presented themselves from 
Uundanba. There are fourteen in a circlet, the largest measuring eight millimetres, 
and the opening left by the decay of the stem measuring two millimetres. The leaves 
are short and lanceolate, and their bases appear to be sessile or decurrent on the
