3. By the occurrence of the same group iu the "Wurdha coal-field with fish and 
reptilian remains, hitherto believed to be liassie. 
4. Amongst the Indian local floras that of the Jabalpur group has most species 
common with the Ivach flora, suggesting their close correspondence as to 
age, so that—■ 
5. All conclusions which can be arrived at about the age oi the Jabalpur group 
may so far be also applied to the Ivach series. 
Remains of Lepidotm and of Ryperodapedon have also been found in the Ceratodus 
beds, indicating the same liassie formation. 
In a greyish-rod fine sandstone beneath the Ceratodus beds of Kota Mr. King found 
some plant remains which I think to be Palissya eonferta, Fstm. This species being 
characteristic of the Raj inulial series, it would seem that this horizon also maybe distin¬ 
guishable in that region. 
I may here remark that from a cursory inspection I have made of the Kach collections, 
I do not think they will hear out the inferences based upon the Cephalopoda as to the 
Tithonian horizon of the upper members of the series. 
Y1II. _Descriptions of new and discussions of some already known but 
IMPORTANT SPECIES FROM THE GONDWANA SERIES* 
In the following pages are given the descriptions of some new species, which to 
the date of the publication of my former papers were not known to me, although for some 
years in our collections. During the thorough rearrangement of the Musuem they have 
been found, and prove very important for further evidence us to the determination of age. 
Also some species, which were already formerly known, but which occur again in better 
specimens. 
A.—A new Rhcetic form of Pterophyllum, Bgt„ in the Rajmahal Rills. 
Amongst those species which are described by Oldham and Morris,f we find already 
one form which approaches a rhcetic species (*'. e„ Pteroph. Princeps, 0. M., very near to 
Pt. Braunsi, Seh.) ; another has even connections in the Permian formation. 
I have now to report on another identic species— 
Pterophyllum comp, propinquum, Gopp. 
1844. Goppert : liber foss. Cyeadeen, etc. Verh. d. Schles. Gesellsch., p 132 ff.. Tab. I. f. 5. 
1807. Suheuli : Flora dor Greuasch , p. 215. 
In the above quoted paper Mr. Goppert described a true Pterophyllum , Gopp., which 
is especially remarkable by the distant, pretty equal leaflets, passing out from the Rharhis 
nearly quite straightly. He designated it first as from jurassic rocks, which, however, 
afterwards proved to be identic (in consequence of the examinations of Mr. Schenk and 
F. Rimer). 
Amongst the specimens of the older collections of Rajmahal plants in our Museum, 
there is a (rather fragmentary) specimen, which by the form and disposition of the leaflets 
can be compared only with Pterophyllum propinquum, Gopp. I cannot discuss it further 
* I think it necessary to join these descriptions here in a short form, as I refer to the species in the 
preceding pages ; they will, however, be described and figured more closely in the special papers on the local floras, 
t Palseontol. Indica, ls(12 : Flora of the Eajmuhal Series in the Rajmahal Series.
