Extract

The most important addition to the fossil flora of the Bajo de Velis (which locality I visited from Dec., 1894, to March, 1895) is the discovery of Rhipidopsis gingkoides, Schmalh., and R. densinervis, Fstm., each represented by well-preserved leaves and numerous fruits. Both species are met with in the Damudas of India—R. densinervis in the Rániganj (Kámthi group), R. gingkoides in the Barákar (Duranga Coalfield), the latter together with Cyclopitys dichotoma, Fstm. (this curious type was detected by my friend and colleague, Dr. Bodenbender, in the Sierra de Los Llanos, in the south of the province of La Rioja).
