Next there are six records from Matanra Falls, in Southland:— 
Hector’s Name. 
Macrotceniopteris lata Hect. 
Lomarites pectenata Hect. 
Taxites manawao Hect. 
Pterophyllum matauriensis Hect. 
Sphenopteris asplenoides Hect. 
Taxites hahihatea Hect... 
Revised Nomenclature. 
= Tceniopteris crassinervis (Feist.). 
= Microphyllopteris pectinata (Hect.). 
= Pagiophyllum peregrinum (L. & H.). 
= Ibid. 
— Sphenopteris sp. 
— 2 
Lastly we have three species from Waikawa, in Southland :— 
Hector’s Name. 
Revised Nomenclature. 
Taxites manawao Hect... 
Pecopteris grandis Hect. 
Asplenites palceopteris Unger 
Palissya tenuijolia (McCoy). 
Cladophlebis australis (Morr.). 
Sphenopteris (? Coniopteris) sp. 
In 1889 Crie(l) described two petrifactions from Mataura and Toitoi:— 
Crie’s Name. Revised Nomenclature. 
Psaronius Huttonianus Crie .. = Osmundites sp.(2). 
Araucarioxylon australe Crie .. = Ibid. 
In 1907 Kidston and Gwynne-Vaughan(3) described two very interesting Osmund- 
aceous stems from “ near Gore, Otago,” as Osmundites Gibbiana K. & G.-V., and 
0. Dunlopi K. & G.-V. These are among the few petrifactions as yet known from 
New Zealand, and were no doubt really derived from Curio Bay, Waikawa. More 
recently Smnott(4) has also discussed similar specimens. 
Prior to the commencement of the present work we therefore find that there 
were only eleven valid records of Mesophytic plants from New Zealand, as follows :— 
Cladophlebis australis (Morr.). 
Dictyophyllum acutilobum (Braun). 
Microphyllopteris pectinata (Hect.) 
Osmundites Dunlopi K. & G.-V. 
Osmundites Gibbiana K. & G.-V. 
Elatocladus conferta (0. & M.). 
Palissya tenuijolia (McCoy). 
Pagiophyllum peregrinum (L. & H.). 
Pterophyllum matauriensis Hect. 
Tceniopteris crassinervis (Feist.). 
Araucarioxylon australe Crie. 
In a preliminary note(5), published in 1913, on the fossil plants of the Mount 
Potts beds I figured the following species, among others, indicated as occurring in this 
locality :— 
Linguifolium Lillieanum sp. nov. 
Baiera cf. B. paucipartita Nath. 
Tceniopteris Daintreei McCoy. 
Chiropteris lacerata sp. nov. 
Thinnfeldia lancifolia (Morr.). 
These plants are both described and. refigured in the present memoir, in order to 
render the account of the New Zealand floras as complete as possible.
