1. Genus: Noggerathia, Sternberg, 1828. 
Noggerathia Hislopi, Bunb., 1861. Already known to Rev. Hislop, and in 1861 de¬ 
scribed by Sir Charles Bunbury (Q. J. G. Soc.), who was not quite certain about the nature of 
this genus, but would rather refer it to the Cycadeacece or a neighbouring family. 
Is known from Nagpur district (at first known from there), from the Satpura basin 
(many years in the collections). 
Noggerathia sp., from Kurhurbalee coal-field, known since 1871 and brought again this 
year. The same form occurs in the Talchir shales. 
Genus : Macboptebygium, Sckimper, 1870-72. 
Macropterygium, comp. Bronni, I think a specimen (respect, two, as positive and nega¬ 
tive impressions) from the Lower Godavari District (since 1873 in the collections), belongs to 
this genus, and also very near to the same species. So much is at least certain that they 
are Cycadeacece. 
Genus: Ptebophyllum, Bgt., 1828. 
One species is known. 
Bterophyllum Burdwanense, Fstm. (McClell. sp.), which I describe now with this 
name, but which already by McClelland was figured (1848-49) as Zamia Burdwanensis. 
From the Eaniganj coal-field. 
Genus: Glossozamites, Schimp., 1870. 
Glossozamites Stoliczlcanus, Fstm. Only lately described by me, but since 1871 
amongst our fossils from Domahani, Kurhurbalee coal-field, with a small suite of other 
plants, amongst which three coniferous branchlets already at that time were determined as 
Vollzia heterophylla, Bgt., which 1 found again so frequently this year. 
These Cycadeacece from Kurhurbalee coal-field are the more important, as from the close 
connection of the Kurhurbalee coal-bed and the Talchir strata, as regards both the strati¬ 
graphy and palaeontology, I consider the Kurhurbalee beds as the lowest, or at least as low 
as the other representatives of the Barakar group and the Talchir shales in close connection 
with it. 
From the importance which the Cycadeacece have for us, I thought it useful to draw 
attention to these remains before they can be published with full descriptions and figures. 
XI.— Note on plant fossils feom Barakab district (Barakar group). 
In the beginning of this year I had an opportunity of visiting those beds of the 
Raniganj coal-field which were designated as the Barakar group. I procured many fossils 
from the mines in Kumardhubi (near Barakar), and collected some also in the most western 
part, near Nirscha. 
The fossils, which come everywhere from above the coal seam and partly from bands in 
it, show a great uniformity of forms, and are throughout the same as we find them in the
