Sphenopteris (?) sp. 
Fig. 17. 
The fragment represented in Fig. 17 (170), allotment 20, Jumbunna East, is, 
no doubt, identical with the unnamed form figured by Stirling in his PI. I., Fig. 5;* 
it may be compared also with Trichomanites laxum and T. spinifolium of 
Tenison-Woods.*j* The available material is too fragmentary and imperfect to 
enable one to attempt a diagnosis sufficient to justify the institution of a new 
specific name. Possibly the name Eremopteris Warragulensis , McCoy, men¬ 
tioned by Stirling, may have been applied by McCoy to the fragments repre¬ 
sented in the figure (PI. L, Fig. 5) already referred to, but this is not stated in 
..Stirling’s notes on the fossil plants.

GENUS TiENIOPTERIS, BRONGNIART.J 
The leaves which it is customary to include in this genus are in the maj ority 
of cases considered to be simple fronds of ferns, which, in the absence of sori 
or individual sporangia, it is impossible to assign to a particular family. We 
cannot always be sure whether the leaves were borne as simple fronds or as 
pinnae of compound fronds ; but in some cases, e.g., Tceniopteris vittata, Brongn., 
the axis of the frond is prolonged beyond the base of the lamina as a petiole 
which must have been borne directly on the stem. In the case of pinnate 
fronds with simple pinnae it would be rash to attempt to discriminate between 
ferns and cycads, as the class to which the leaves should be referred, without
