Fig. 46 (145, allotment 50, Jumbunna East).—This specimen, 8mm. long 
by 7mm. broad, consists of a prominent central portion, surrounded in its 
apical and lateral portions by a narrow flattened border. Similar seeds have 
been figured by various others, but it is needless to institute a comparison. 
Localities. —Allotment 22, Jumbunna East; Rainbow Creek, allotment 50, 
Jumbunna East;

Carpolithes, sp. B. 
In addition to the seeds referred founder Carpolithes sp. A, there are a few 
which differ in their smaller size from that shown in Fig. 46, and may possibly 
belong to a distinct type. 
Localities. —Allotment 97, Korumburra ; allotment 50, Jumbunna East.

Fig. 47 (216).—This fragment bears some resemblance to an Equisetaceous 
nodal diaphragm, with portions of linear leaves, but it may perhaps be more 
accurately described as a portion of a rhizome or root, bearing lateral appendages 
or rootlets. 
Localities. — Allotment 29a, Jumbunna East ; allotment 65, Jumbunna. 
Other specimens which may be fragments of rhizomes or roots :—22, allot¬ 
ment 65, Jumbunna ; 118 and 218, allotment 16, Jumbunna East. 
C.—CONCLUSION. 
It remains to consider the composition and affinities of the flora represented 
by the fragmentary specimens from Gippsland. Much of the material is, 
unfortunately, too imperfect to refer with confidence to previously recorded 
species, and some of the determinations, which have been made with a certain 
amount of hesitation, are not of much value in assisting us to form an estimate 
of the geological horizon represented by the Victorian fossils. One fact that 
must be borne in mind in making an analysis of the flora is the close correspon¬ 
dence, as regards general composition, of floras described from various part- 
of the world from strata referred to both the rhaetic and jurassic series. 
The small number of Victorian species recognised in the Gippsland collection 
renders difficult a definite statement as to the geological horizon of the plant¬ 
bearing beds. Several of the species are almost indistinguishable from types 
recorded from the inferior oolite beds of England ; of these we have— 
Lycopodites Victoria ?, 
Coniopteris hymenophylloides, var. Australica , 
Tceniopteris Daintreei, var. major , 
Cladophlebis denticulata, var. australis. 
Ginkgo , sp., 
Baiera australis , 
Baiera delicatula , 
Nilssonia, sp., 
Araucarites, sp., 
Taxites, sp.
