the Jurassic Floras of Russia,’ where the Flora of the Kusnezk basin on the Altai 
is described as an undoubted Jurassic flora. Regarding the two mentioned species 
of Ndggerathia, Mr. Schmalhausen says, “ The specimens described by Gbjjpert 
N'djy. dlskviis and iV. ceiiualis ai-e apparently leaflets of rt, Ggcadeous plant, 
related partly with forms of Zaniia, partly with Podozamites. The name llliifo- 
zmnltes is jjroposod for the same.” They arc described as very numerous; with 
them occur Fhgllotheoit, Angdenimn whithiense, Bgt-, sp. var. team, Ozelianowskia 
r/puZ«, Heer, Piuits nordenskidldi, Heer, Phdnicopsis anjustlfolia, Heer, Saiuaropsis 
parvida Heer, and also Gingko, most of which occur in the Jura of Eastern 
Siberia and the Amur countries. Of Ggcadeiioece, the following were found: 
Zainitas inflexus, Eichw., Podozamites elckwaldi, and a GtenoplujJlimi. 
The genus Bliiptozamites is equally numerous on the Tunguska river. 
A comparison of the Indian and Australian Nmjgeratliiopsls with the original 
drawings of the Altai Ndjijeruthia (Giipp. 1. c.) shows that they are remarkably 
close to one another, and the genus liliiptozamites, Schmalhausen, is <a Jurassic 
representative of the genus Ndagerathiopsis, which in Australia begins in palffio- 
zoic beds, in India occurs in the Talchir-Kai-harbari and Hamuda divisions of 
the Gondwana system ® and in Sibeiia has a close (if not generically identical) 
representative in Jurassic rocks. 
There arc now especially throe gener’a : Plnjllotheca, Pgi., GJossopteris, Pgt., 
Noggeratliiopsis, Fstm. (and Itliiptozamites, Schmalh.), which begin in Australia 
in palaeozoic rocks, and pass almost unchanged through the subsequent forma¬ 
tions into Jurassic rocks in India and Siberia. 
In my Flora of the Lower Gondwanas, I shall treat more closely of this 
genus, where I shall also refer to Count Saporta’s recent pajjers on Ndjgerathia 
and various plants included in this genus ; ” as also to some recent observations 
on the fructification of the Bohemian Noggoratliia foliosa, Stbg., which modify to 
a certain extent the classification given in Mr. Saporta’s paper. ‘

I. Jurassic plants from K.attitwar. 
In 1878, Mr. Fcdden, while surveying a portion of the Kattywar peninsula, 
collected some fossil plants preserved in a friable sandy shale of purplish grey 
color. They ai'e only very fragmentary, although the fragments are numerous 
enough; but a.s a certain interest attaches to them, I think it worth while to 
name them and discuss, as far as possible, their relations. The plants were found 
three-quarters of a mile north-west of Than, Northern Kattywar.
