Schimper * lias shown another and perhaps more natural place for it; he took it as 
synonymous with Tamiopt. McClelland*, O. JVL. which he placed in his genus Angiop- 
teridiv.rn, Sclnmp. This view becomes quite probable if we compare Sir 0 Bunbnry's 
drawing (1. c.) with Tceniopt. McClellandi, 0. M. ;f and the other specimens before me 
seem to confirm the determination. 
Sir C. Bunburys specimens as well as oars are from Kami hi. 
1. Besides this there are from the Uagptir district (Kamthi) several specimens of a 
much bigger Tceniopteris (. Macrotmniopteris ) which have some related forms, but which 
yet seem to be different. 
The top portion recalls especially Tceniopteris lata, 0. M., 1. c., PI. TV, f 3 PI V 
f. 2. But it belongs to the specimens with which it occurred. It recalls also 1 little 
Sir C. Bunbnry’s Glossopteris muscefolia , Bunb., 1. c. It would agree quite well, only 
that there are no anastomoses at the base of the veins in our specimens, ’which 
Sir C. Bunbury states to have observed. 
I therefore cannot identify the specimens under discussion with one or the other spe¬ 
cies mentioned, as there are differences enough to establish a new species, which I will 
describe as following : — 
Macromuvioptekis Feddeni, Fstm. 
. Fronde simplici epeeiosusima usque 20 cm, lata. ut videtur, ovato-ehugaio^llipUda ; 
apice obtusa, qmndo que emarginata. plerumque irregnlariter incisa vet 'divisa eonsis- 
tenha subcoriacea, costa in proportions ad frmdis latitudimm ac magnitvdinem tantum 
crussmscitla langifudmaHter striata compressa; nervis mundariis ereberrimis tenuibns 
summa in parte (apicem versus) mb angulo acute eggreduntibus, marginemqne versus 
plus sursum arcuatu; in parte frondis mferiore fere horizontalibus margined versus 
paulo tantun sursum incur,,atis simplicibus ac furratis altemantibus furcations aut in. 
ipsa bast aut quod am. m parte longitudmis nervorum exhibita. 
I bavc named this very interesting species after Mr. F. Fedden of our Survey who 
collected it some years ago in Kamthi. 
Our species holds a middle place between the Permian Tceniopt. {Macrot) abnormis 
Gutb., and the three species of Macrofmniopteris from the Bajmahal Hills, and we have’ 
therefore, in our Triassic beds, between the Permian and Jurassic, a Macroiceninpteris. 
Me have, therefore, the following species of Tceniopteris in our Dainudas_ 
Tceniopteris comp. McOleltandi, 0. M„ from Kamthi. Sir 0. Bunbnry’s T«- 
mopt. Maneeoides ? should he placed here—a Bajmahal species. 
Macrotmniopteris Danceoides, McCl., (Boyle)*, from Burdwan (Boyle) from 
Jherra coal-field (Hughes) and from Kauiganj, and from Burgo in the Haimahal 
Hills (our coll.), J 
Macro tamiopt Feddeni, Fstm., the broadest form I know.—From Kamthi. 
If we compare the two Mucrotmwpterides of the Damudas with the Permian and 
the Rajmabal forms, we bavc tbe following series (regarding the distance of the veins):_ 
1. Maerntminptcris Danceoides. McCl — Damuda.-(Tl,e widest distance ) 
2 Macrot. lata, O. M.— Rajmalml Hills. 
3. Macrot. Feddeni, Fstm.—Dainuda. 
_ 4 - Macrot. abnormis, Gutb. Permian.—(Tbe narrowest distance).
