Trichopitys ? sp. 
(No. 463.) 
Obs. —Amongst the many problematical plant remains is an interesting 
fragment that recalls to mind the long, delicate, coriaceous, and bifurcate 
leaves of the taxaceous conifer Trichopitys, not unlike T. linclleyana , 
Schimper,* but possessing a stouter habit. 
The base of attachment has gone, but there are two branches of leaves, 
each bifurcating and rebifurcating, and no trace of the single median nerve 
to each leaf, possibly destroyed in the bituminization the specimen has 
undergone. 
The determination cannot be considered conclusive, but the resemblance is 
very strong. 
Schizolepis ? sp. 
(Nos. 441, 448.) 
Obs. —Other fragments recall the long, acicular, straight leaves of the 
the above, another taxaceous conifer, particularly the uninervate leaves 
ascribed by Mr. A. G. Nathorst to his S. Follini,] from the Scandinavian 
Rhastic. These leaves are too long and parallel-sided to be ascribed to either 
Palissgcc or Cunninghamites , and their uninervate condition removes them 
from Voltzia. In one specimen five leaves are arranged as if radiating 
from a common stem, but this central point is hidden in matrix that cannot 
be removed. 
Loc. —Jumbunna East. 
Cordianthus-like infloresence. 
(No. 267.) 
Obs. —A very peculiar and dubious fragment may possibly belong to that 
series of infloresences known as Cordianthus. It is sufficiently interesting 
to cause one to wish for more and better material. 
The specimen, which is but a carbonized impression, consists of an axis 
giving off short lateral stalks, sub-opposite, and terminated by what look 
like compressed, elongately cordiform buds, some of them apparently pro¬ 
tected by bracts. 
Loc. —Parish of Kongwak. 
Phyllopteris ? sp. 
(Nos. 269, 276, 343, 346, 349, 373, 396, 397, 400-402, 412, 425, 459.) 
Obs. —Numerous portions of fronds are, I believe, referable to this fern. 
They possess the simple bifurcate venation that has already been recognised 
in similar leaves from the Leigh Creek coal-measures of central Aus¬ 
tralia,! and the Ipswich formation of Queensland. § Some of the specimens 
exhibit a less crowded state of the venation at the apical portions of the 
leaves than those from the foregoing horizons. 
I looked for a net-venation, thinking they might he the leaves figured by 
Mr. J. Stirling as Sagenopteris Carruthersi , McCoy, || whatever these may 
really be ; but there is no more net-venation visible than in the figures 
referred to. 
Loc. —Parish of Kongwak, Jumbunna East.
