NOTE ON THE CORRELATION OF TASMANIAN AND 
VICTORIAN JURASSIC STRATA. 
By F. Chapman , A.L.S., 6°r., P alee ontolo gist to the National Museum , 
Melbourne . 
The flora of the Upper Mesozoic coal-bearing beds of Tasmania, as 
developed throughout the E. and S.E. and appearing again in the south, 
is only in part comparable with the Gippsland coal-measure flora. The 
Tasmanian Mesozoic beds contain, for example, a large proportion of 
plant forms characteristic also of an older series, such as we find asso¬ 
ciated in the Mesozoic plant-bearing beds of Queensland, and which asso¬ 
ciation has led palaeobotanists h> refer to them as Trias-Jura. 
With careful and detailed stratigraphical work it may in the future 
be possible to separate the Tasmanian beds referred to by Mr. W. H. 
Twelvetrees, F.G.S.Q as “ 3. Upper Coal Measure Sandstone,” into an 
older and a younger series; a work which, indeed, has already been begun 
through the published observations of Mr. R. M. Johnston, F.L.S. The 
list of plants from the Tasmanian Upper Mesozoic series given in Twelve- 
trees’ paper 1 2 includes Taeniopteris spp., Cladophlebis (“ Alethopteris ” ),
