identical with Morris’s, S. lobijolia. The fragments figured by Tenison-Woods 
as Sphenopteris flabellifolia, var. erecta ,| are too small to determine, but they 
may be identical with the Victorian type. Shirley’s species, Sphenopteris 
lacunosa,% so named from the occurrence of apparent holes in the pinnules, 
which no doubt represent sori, is probably a distinct form. Some of the 
specimens of fertile pinnae of a fern reproduced in Stirling’s Reports as Sphen¬ 
opteris Warragulensis§ may be specifically identical with those described 
below. 
Fig. 6 (1, Allotment 65, parish of Jumbunna).—Part of fertile pinnae 
5.5 cm. long ; a few faint impressions of individual sporangia were detected 
showing traces of radially disposed dark lines, which, no doubt, mark the 
position of the thick-walled cells of the annulus. 
Fig. 7 (28, Allotment 65, parish of Jumbunna).—Similar to Fig. 6; the 
enlarged pinnule (Fig. 7a) shows the marginal occurrence of the oval or 
circular sori, but it is impossible to recognise details of sporangial structure. 
Fig. 8 (13, Allotment 65, parish of Jumbunna).—Portion of a frond 
showing the tripinnate habit, compare with the English specimen repre¬ 
sented in Volume I. of the Jurassic Flora, PI. XX., Fig. 2,|| and with the 
plant figured by Moller as Dicksonia Pingelii from Bornholm. 
Fig. 9 (223, Outtrim Railway Cutting).—Part of a pinna in which the 
ultimate segments are of a narrower type than those shown in Figs. 6-8. This 
bears a resemblance to a fragment named by Stirling Sphenopteris Travisi* * § **

The species may be defined as follows :— 
Frond bipinnate, of the Sphenopteris type of venation ; the ultimate seg¬ 
ments vary in form and breadth, some are elongate-oval with a serrate margin, 
while others, in the apical region of the frond, and in the distal portions of 
pinnse are long and narrow with acutely pointed serration. The material is 
too meagre to admit of a fuller diagnosis.
