For my purpose it will be sufficient and most useful to represent the flora first in a 
general systematical review, and then may follow the localities with their characteristic 
species and their probable correlation. 
A.— Acottledones Cryptogam.®. 
I. — Algce. 
Of this family I have not met with any specimen, hut Mr. Morris, in Captain Grant’s 
Geology of Kach, describes a Fucoides diclwtomus, Morr. Although I am quite unable 
to form an opinion as to whether Mr. Morris is right or not (because I have not seen the 
original specimen), I may remark that there is no objection to take it so, as from the same 
strata of other places (England) Algce are mentioned. I would only add that if it is an 
Alga, it is a Chondrites, with the same specific name. 
Locality not indicated. 
II. — Filices. 
Perns are not very frequent, but some most characteristic genera and species occur. 
Already in the representatives of this family, we can see the character of the strata. 
At least we must, on the first view, say that they are Mesozoic, the species may then 
determine nearer. 
1. Order, Tceniopterides. 
As we will also find in the Rajmahal group, this order is abundantly developed, but 
represented by some different species. This is the first difference we may notice between 
these two floras. 
In the division of this order, I follow the newest by Mr. Scbimper— 
a. — Tceniopteris, Bgt., mostly Palmozoic. 
h. — Angiopteridium, Schimp. Mesozoic. 
c. — Oleandridium, Schimp. Mesozoic. 
d. — Macrotceniopteris, Schimp. Mesozoic. 
e. — Danaeopsis, Heer, 
f. — JDanaiies, Gbppt. 
Our species are— 
a. —Oleandridium vittatum, Schimp. {Tceniopteris vittata Bgt.) Some specimens 
agreeing quite with Brongniart’s drawings and those of Bindley and Hutton, also with those 
of Young and Bird, Phillips, &c., from the English Oolite (Scarborough), are known 
from Kukurbit, in a grey sand)' clay. It is an important species. 
b. —Tceniopteris densinervis, Fstm. The fragment from which this species is made I 
take to be a real Tceniopteris, Bgt. 
Locality : Kukurbit. 
2. Order, Pecopterides. 
Some fragments occur; a few of them are of considerable importance, 
a. — Alethopteris, Whitbyensis, Gopp. Pecopteris Whitbyensis, L. and H., Tab. 134 
(Foss. flor. of Great Britain.) 
Some fragments of a true Alethopteris, Goppt. (leaflets attached by the whole base 
and connected together), I could only identify with this species, which occurs mostly in the 
English Oolite, although it has been also found in the Liassic strata. This species is 
often mentioned in books under the most different synonyms. In my detailed descriptions 
I have brought them all into the relation I think most correct. 
Locality : Doodaee, in a reddish-grey soft clay.
