In this class are again some very typical lower oolitic plants, as we have found also 
in Each; one species expressing the relation of these beds with the other members of the 
upper portion of the Gondwaua series. 
1. — Pahssya indica, Fstin.( Oldh. Sc Morr. sp.). # 
Ramis distichis alternUntibus, foliatis, foliis linearibvs patentibus aUernis, in pul- 
vinulo decurrentibus distinctissime sessilibus nervo distincto e basi uno sulcis duobus 
pro fu.ndioAbus limitato (fonctificatione non obvia). 
Of the same plant which Dr. Oldham and Prof. Morris figured from the Rajmabal 
Hills, and which I found later among the Each flora and from Golapili, some very good 
specimens occur also in the Jabalpur group, one of which MM. Oldham and Morris figured 
already in their Rajraahal Flora (1. c.) as Taxodites indirus, O. & M. But later Dr. Oldham 
himself recognised it to be a Palissya, and I will use his specific name. But as MM. Oldham 
and Morris have given no diagnosis, nor any description, I supply the want. It is very near 
to Palissya Brauni, Endl., irorn the rhsetie. From the Satpura basin. 
2. — Palissya Jabalpurensis, Fstm. 
Ramis distichis ( ?) ; crassioribus foliorum pulvinulis tectis ramulis foliatis; foliis 
asqualibus, oblonge lanceolato-ovalibus, patentibus, remotiusculis; basi constrirt.is, 
distincte decurrentibus, pulvinulis oblong is insidentibus; nervo ut videtur unico medio. 
Amentis in certis. 
This species is very characteristic of the Jabalpur group, and, till now, known only in 
it; it has the same importance here as Palissya conferta, Fstm., in the Rajraahal series. 
Through this species and one other coniferous plant (Auracartiles Kachensis. Fstm.). I have 
recognised the Ceratodus beds of the Godavari region as belonging to our Jabulpur 
group-t From Jabalpur. 
3. — Brachyphyllum mamillare, L. & H. 
I take this fossil in the sense of Lindley and Hutton J, who figured on PI. 188 and 219 
two specimens. Mr. Schimper thought these forms different from that described by Brong- 
niart and called the British species Brachyphyllum PhiUipsi, Schiinp. § ; still I take 
these specimens to be Brachy phyll um mamillare, L. & H. 
Our specimens are pretty frequent and do not differ in anything from the English lower 
oolitic species. Dr. Oldham himself has already written on the figures of some specimens, 
which I found drawn, the determination: Brachyphyllum mamillare, L. & H., which they 
really are. From Jabalpur. 
4. — Erhinoslrohus expansms, Schimp. 
Of this species, so frequent in Each, several specimens occur. One specially is very- 
well preserved, showing a pretty large branch with branehlets and the characteristic leaves. 
It is much more complete than any of those from Each, and, I should say, than any of those 
figured. While our specimens from Each agree more with Phillips’ figures ||, this specimen 
from the Jabulpur group agrees better with Sternbarg’s* * * § [
