Notes on a collection of plant impressions from the Henty River - Lower Coal Measures

Until very recently we were ignorant of the existence of the extension of members of the Carboniferous Rocks to the west of the Eldon Bluff. About six months ago I received a collection of fossils from Mr. T. P. H. Jones, taken from a deposit extending eastward along the northern side of the Henty River, commencing at its junction with its tributary, The Badger, and apparently occupying a patch of about 4 miles square, lying between these rivers eastward of the fork. Mr. Jones states that he has traced some of its members' forming a narrow curved strip bending northwards towards, and nearly approaching the vicinity of Mount Dundas. I received a collection of Lower Coal Measure plants, containing some of the finest examples of Glossopteris browniana that I have yet seen in Tasmania. One of these is nearly perfect, and must have been originally 14 inches in length, having a breadth of 2| inches at its greatest diameter.
