Notes on fossil floeas in India, by Ottokae Feistmantel, m. d., Paleontologist to 
the Geological Survey of India.

IX.— On some fossil plants feom the Atgaeh sandstones. 
The flora of the Atgarh sandstones, so far as known, is poor in species, but neverthe¬ 
less sufficiently marked to enable us to recognise the period to which it belongs. Ferns 
prevail. 
FILICES. 
Alethoptekis Indica, 0. and M. sp. (Pecopteeis, O. and M.). 
This species is tolerably abundant. It was first described by M.M. Oldham and Morris 
in the flora of the Rajmehal hills (PI. XXVII). I have elsewhere shewn that this Rajmehal 
species is very near to Asplenites Rosserti, Schinip. Lately I have found it to be not un¬ 
common amongst the fossils from Golapilly near Ellorc, and have made use of its occurrence 
there together with that of other fossils to prove that the Golapilly rocks belong to the 
Rajmehal group. The present is an analogous case from which a similar conclusion may be 
drawn. 
Besides the common form of Alethopteris indica, 0. and M. sp., there occurs a still 
smaller frond which, however, belongs also to Alethopteris, Giipp. 
If we compare the drawings of M.M. Oldham and Morris’ work (PI. XXVII), we find 
that fig. 2 shews slightly different dimensions; similarly is the Alethopteris from Atgarh 
different from the common form. In order to mark the distinction, I would call the latter 
Alethopteris indica, 0. and M. var. minor. This form is somewhat rare, the occurrence of 
the other being much more frequent. 
Asplenites maceocaepus, O. and M. sp. 
There is a fragment of a pinna, the pinnul® of which show a slightly dentated margin, 
with an indication of fructification, as is also to be seen in Peeopteris macrocarpa, O. and M. 
I do not doubt that this fragment from Atgarh should be referred to this species. I have 
transferred it to the genus Asplenites, retaining the original specific name. 
This species occurs pretty frequently among the fossils from the Rajmehal hills, and 
also occurs with those from Golapilly. I hope to make a comparison between this species 
aud Asplenites Ottonis, Schimp., from the Rhretic sti-ata.
