This fern resembles strikingly (and is 
.also by Sobmalbansen compared with) 
Glossopteris ill slmpe and distribution of 
veins, but has no midrib and no anastoinoscs. 
Other specimens resemble Gangamopteris 
angustifoUa, but they again want the 
anastomoses. The most closely related 
genus is Uuhidgea from the Karoo beds; 
there is hardly any distinguishing character, 
but they are not to be inistfiken for my 
PalcBorittaria.

(PI. XV, figs. 14,15, represent forms of the

represents a Barakar form). 
This list speaks for itself, and there is nothing surprising in it when we 
consider the close relations of the various groups of the Gondwana system as 
independently obsoived. We have in addition the occurrence of Qlossopteris 
in the Upper Gondwanas, the representation of Podozamites in the Upper, by 
Nbggerathiopsis in the Lower Gondwanas, the occurrence of Qlossopteris and 
Vertehraria, in a horizon in the Auranga coal-field, which Mr. Ball could not 
assign to any bed of the Lower Gondwanas, hut thought it should belong to the 
Milhadevas (Upper Gondwanas), although I think it may represent the Panchot 
group, etc. There is also a fine collection of plants made by Mr. Hughes 
in South Eewah, which will further illustrate this intermingling of the fiora just 
on the boundaries between the lower and upper bods of the Gondwana system. 
These relations, wdiich no doubt will find further illustration in course of 
the more detailed work of the Survey, show well the fitness of combining all 
the beds from the Talchir group up to the Jabalpur and Kach group under one 
collective designation, for which the name Oondivdna system W'as very happily- 
chosen.
