From the Jabalpur group there is a pinna, of which the veins are disposed in the 
same manner as in Sagenopt. PMllipsi, especially in Brongniart's figure 2, tab. 63 (Hist.). 
Our specimen is narrower and longer, the midrib quite distinct, the secondary veins 
passing out of it at an acute angle, are once or twice dichotomous, and join again quite 
close to the margin. From Jabalpur. 
In considering the ferns found in the Jabalpur group, we have mostly such forms 
as are found in Europe in the lower oolite, thus : 
1 . — Sphenopteris comp, argnta, L. & H.—In England a lower oolitic species. 
2 . — Cyclopteris lobata, Fstm.—Nearly identical with Cyclopteris digitata, L. & H., 
which is lower oolitic in England. 
3 . —Alethopteris lYhitbyensis, Gopp,—A lower oolitic species in England. 
4. —Pccopteris comp, il lurrayana, Bgt.—In England a lower oolitic species. 
5 —Sagenopteris comp. Phillipsi, Schenk.—A lower oolitic species in Europe. 
C.—C YCA PEA CEM. 
In the Jabalpur group we find the Cycadeacece pretty abundant, more so than in 
Each, and with other genera ; but here again the genus Ptilophyllum, Morr., is found. 
%me of the species are true lower oolitic forms; one is lias sic. 
L—Zauu-.t:. 
This family alone is represented in the Jabalpur group, but very frequently. I shall 
use the generic names as Schimper used them in his Paleont. vegetale, and as they are 
also generally acknowledged. 
1 . —Podozamites ( Zamia-Zamites ) lanceolatus, L. II.* 
There occur very many detached leaves, long and lanceolate, angustate a little at 
their base, acuminate on their apex, and with numerous veins. They are identical with 
Zamia lanceolata ^f E. & H., or Podozamites lanceolatus , Schimp.^ 
This is a lower oolitic species, where it has the same place and importance that 
Podozamites distans, Presl.§ has in the rhtetic; the veins of the latter, however, are 
rarer and thicker. 
We know this species from all three districts—South Eewah, Jabalprir, and Satpura 
basin. 
2. —Podozamites spatkulatus, Fstm. 
Foliis brevioribus, ovato lanceolatis, basi attenuatis, spathulatis, nervis paucis, 
simplicibus. 
This form is shorter, ovate towards the apex, and the veins are more distant from 
each other; in this character this species approaches more to Podoz. distans, Presl., of the 
rhsetic. From South Rewah— 
3. —Podozamites Uaclceti, Fstm.
