Two specimens of tliis species liave been brought by Mr. Racket, which differ from 
the former in the arrangement of the leaves, their form, the rigidity and disposition of 
the veins. 
Our specimens are so closely allied to Mr. McCoy’s Podozamites BarMyi,* that the 
want of a decurrent leaf-base and the presence of but one longitudinal rib constitute the 
only difference. By the want of the decurreut leaf-hasp our specimens have less resemblance 
to an Araucaria (or Bowenia) than Mr. McCoy’s. (See loco cit.) 
The Australian species is from the Bellarine beds (Victoria), which Mr. McCoy con¬ 
siders as mesozoic (oolitic), in which I think he is right. 
Our specimens are from the Satpnva basin, and are named after Mr. Hacket (of our 
Survey), who collected them. It is of importance. 
1. —Otozamites Hislopi (Oldham sp.) Fstm. 
(Zamites Hislopi ) Oldh.,—label on specimen.) 
The genus Otozamites is frequent enough in the Jabalpur group, together with 
Ptihphyllum, Morr, The species above is a very good one, and has been named so by Dr. 
Oldham himself, for which reason I have kept the specific name, placing it among Otozamites 
to which it appears properly to belong. There is, however, no description of this species 
anywhere. The name is written only with pencil on the label of the specimen. The diagnosis 
I give m 3 r self. 
Foliis latiusculis, apicem versus attenwatis; rhaehide ut videtur tenui; pinnis 
rhackidis superjiciem tegentibus, alternantibus, basi latioribus, apicemque versus attenu- 
antibus, apice paulo sursam incur vatis obtusis ; basi obtuse auriculata, indistineta eordata, 
puneto uno tantuin inserla ; nervis e basi radiat'im in folia currentibus, distincte repetito 
furcatis. 
In the form of the leaf-base and in the manner of insertion, it resembles quite closely 
Otozamites Goldicei, Bgt.,f but the leaves are much shorter and more obtuse. 
In the Kach flora I have described one form as very near to Otoz. Goldicei, Bgt., from 
Kukurhit; it may stand between our Otoz. Hislopi, Oldh. sp., and the true Otozamites 
Goldicei, Bgt. 
Our specimen is from the Sher river, Satpura basin. 
Besides this species there are several other species of Otozamites, Br., of which I will 
only mention one as important. 
2. — Otozamites comp, gracilis (Kurr sp.) Sehimp. 
Kurr described this species first as Zamites gracilis it is from the schist with 
Posidonia of the Upper Lias near Ohmden in Wurtemberg. 
Schimper described it as Otozamites, and this is the only species with which he could 
compare our Ptilophyllum. He says in his Paleontologie vegetale: “ Cette espece rappelle
