Sp. Char. Frond small, coriaceous, with a strong thick raehis, dichotomously 
divided, pitmate, hi-pinnate. Pinnules entire, linear, attached by almost the whole of 
the base, but slightly contracted at the lower portion, somewhat distant, not decurrent. 
Fpper edge convex ; lower slightly concave, but in a few pinnules divided into deep 
rounded lobes, apex acute, emerging from the raehis at an angle of about 35°, veins not 
prominent, coste not forking, and quite persistent to the apex, not very visible in any 
of the specimens, birt apparently grouped and numerous, emerging at an acute angle, 
and bifurcating ; there appear to be two venules emerging at the very base of the 
pinnule. Eachis conspicuously marked with a single deep, dark, median groove. (Ten. 
Woods.) 
Ohs. This is said to be closely allied to the recent Gleichenia JlaheUata, 
E. Brown, common to the east coast of Australia. The Author thinks that perhaps 
the deep) rounded lobes may be a monstrosity. I have not met with the species in my 
Colleague’s gatherings.

Sp. Char. Frond very long, narrow, strap-shaped, elongately lingual, petiolate, 
straight, slightly curved, or rather flexuous, parallel-sided, or the margins undulating, or 
gently sinuous in places, with an average width of five-sixteenths of an inch. Apex 
rounded, acute, or emarginate. Petiole strong, striated, and naked. Midrib, or costa, 
thick, striated longitudinally, retaining its size throughout the length of the frond; 
veins distant or close, simple, or bifurcate, generally at right angles to the midrib, but at 
times slightly oblique, without curve, dichotomisation taking place near the midrib, or at 
a variable distance between it and the margin. 
OKs. I have been, tor some time past, accumulating material, with the view of 
assisting in the identification of some fragmentary Tseniopterid remains from Queens- 
land. T. Eaintreei was first recognised as a IVorthern form by Dr. O. Feistmantel, from 
the Talgai Diggings. I have been favoured from time to time with a Tceniopteris from 
btewart’s Creek, near Stauwell, where the matrix is almost wholly composed of 
fragments, by my Colleague; from the Peak Mountain, Moreton District, by 
the late Eev. J. E. T. Woods ; and from Starfield, near Mount Morgan, by 
Mr. A. J. Vogan. In New South Wales, T. Eaintreei was first recognised in the 
Restricted, Schiinper, Traite^Pal. Vdg., 1869, i., p. 600.
