Bubrotundate, inequilateral, very rarely subsymmetrical, tbe middle leaves larger than 
the lateral cues, and quite entire. Ordinary length about thirty-two millimetres, with 
a diameter of sixteen millimetres. The internal margins of the lateral fronds somewhat 
expanded, furnished here and there with a broad indistinct dental lobe. {Ten. 
Woods.) 
Ohs. I have examined the type specimens used by the late Eev. J. E. T. Woods, 
which are very beautifully and distinctly preserved in the ferruginous rock of the 
Darling Downs deposit. Some specimens in the Anstralian Museum measure as much 
as three and three-quarter inches in length. 
Dr. Feistmantel records this species from the Talgai Diggings, but Mr. Woods 
says, “All Australian specimens are from the Dpper or Mesozoic Coal Basins of 
Ipswich, Queensland, and Jerusalem, Tasmania.”

Sj). Char. Pinnae entire, generally large, euneate -triangular, narrowed towards 
the base, and more or less potiolate-like, and the distal margin obliquely rounded, veins 
delicate, but distinct and very regular, about onc-thirty-secondth of an inch apart, once 
or twice dichotomously divided, sometimes anastomosing at intervals, and then forming 
a long narrow oval mesh ; no trace of a costa or midrib. 
Ohs. Both Dr. Feistmantel and the late Eev. J. B. Tenison Woods were inclined 
to the belief that the original figure represented but a fragment of a pinna. This, and 
the anastomosis of the veins, described by Mr. Carruthers, led both Authors to doubt 
the reference to Oyclopteris, Mr. Woods remarking that “ some fragments of Sayenopteris 
may resemble it.” 
Mr. George Sweet has obtained a specimen from Tivoli, with a distinctly cuneate- 
triangular outline, and perfect. Mr. Carruthers describes the veins as “ sometimes 
anastomosing once in their length near the middle of the pinn®,” but Mr. Sweet’s 
specimen clearly shows that it took place more frequently than this, and, when present, 
divided the leaf into an imperfect oval network. 1 have provisionally placed the species 
in Saganopferis, although it does not conform strictly to the characters of that genus. 
It need not in any way be mistaken for a Glossopteris, the outw'ard curve of the veins, 
the absence of a midrib, and the paucity of the vein-reticulation quite senarating 
S. f cuneata from that genus.
