Abstract
I n a previous communication (Virkki, 1937) I described some double-winged
spores of the type Pityosfontes Seward obtained from the Salt Range, from
a horizon as low as 1J ft. above the Talchir boulder bed—the lowest
plant-bearing horizon so far recorded from the Gondwanas of India. Spores
of the same type were also found in shales at higher horizons, where they
were associated with Glossofiteris, etc., both in India and Australia. The
occurrence of spores in these early Gondwana ghales gave room for hopeful
speculations that spores might b e . obtained even from the glacial matrix
itself. In a recent address at Calcutta Professor Sahni (1938, p. 16)
said “ To prove that the flora actually co-existed with the ice it only remains
to demonstrate these spores within the glacial matrix itself, and I think the
facts at hand fully justify the expectation that this will be done. ”
