Jmnioplens abnormix, Gutb.,* * * § and which also Sell impel- has placed with Tceniopteris, Bgt. 
But Dr. Sterzelf in Chemnitz, finding this species very closely allied with the rluetic 
Macrot. gigantea, Schenk., and with the liassic species from the Eajmahal Hills [ Macrot . 
laia, Oldh. Mor., Macrot. Mustmfolia, Oldh. Mor. (not Banbury), and Macrot. Morrisi, Oldh. 
(only partly)] has regarded it also as Marrotmniopteris. Schimp. Dr. Sterzel says about 
these species, so closely allied with Tceniopt. abnormix, Gutb., that there is scarcely any 
diilerence and only the formation separates them. For me it is a great satisfaction to 
see forms, which 1 have declared to be liassic, so nearly related with a Permian one. 
The close relationship of Macrot. lata, Oldh. Mor., from the Eajmahal Hills with Macrot. 
gigantea, Schenk., from rhmtic, I mentioned already in my first note,]; and will discuss 
it more closely in my Eajmahal Flora. 
Altogether, Macrotoiniopteris, Schimp., contains mostly representatives of lower 
jurassic forms. 
1-— Mucrotmnioptens Satpuremis, Fstm. 
Fronde iatixsima, lit videtur tenera ; nervis secundariis approximate, rectissimis 
plurimis indivisis non nullis solum jurcatis. 
Our specimen is quite fragmentary—only a portion of the leaf-surface is preserved,— 
but the veins are so peculiar that it can be distinguished by this character—of course 
scarcely as a peculiar species, only as a variety; it is rather related with those forms 
described from the Eajmahal Hills, which differ only in having the venation more separated. 
Our specimen is from the Sat pur a basin. 
V.—Dicttopterides. 
Genus : Sagenoptebis, Bgt. 
1 .—Sagenopteris comp. Phillipsi, Lindl. & Hutt. 
Bindley and Hutton first described this species as Gl.ossopt. Phillipsi,§ while Prof. 
Phillips has mentioned it as Pecopt. pauc folia. || In his last edition of the Geology 
of Yorkshire, however, he uses the name Glossopteris Phillipsi, L. & H. In M. Brong- 
niarts Hist. d. veg., pi. 63, f. 2, ive find also two figures of Glossopt. Phillipsi, L. & IB, 
agreeing only with Phillip’s figure (III. edit., pi. VIII) ; and both of these differ from 
Bindley and Hutton’s original figure. 
Later, Brongniart’s and Phillip’s figures have been correctly placed by Schenk and 
Schimper again in Sagenopteris, Bgt.** as Sagenopt. Phillipsi, Schenk.,ff where Bindley 
and Hutton s variety is to be placed also. But Schimper does not mention that Sagenop¬ 
teris begins, as is known, in the l-baetic and continues in the lower oolite. 
Lately I succeeded in getting some species of Sagenopteris out of the Damudas, one 
of which is strikingly near to Sagenopt. rhoifolia, Presl., from rhastic (see further on).
