Extract

The specimens submitted to me were obtained by Dr. E. O. Teale in the Tanga Hinterland in the Tanganyika Territory from beds assigned by Bornhardt to the Stormberg series of the Karroo system. Tanga is situated approximately on Lat. 5° S. Owing to the imperfect state of preservation and the fragmentary nature of the specimens, which occur as impressions on a hard lazninated arenaceous shale, it is impossible to express with confidence an opinion on the precise geological horizon of the beds or to assign all the fossils to a definite position in the vegetable kingdom.
