Abstract

The paper contains a description of two glossopterid fructifications from the Raniganj stage of the Raniganj Coalfield, Bengal. One of these Cistella indica sp. nov. is attached to a Glossopteris leaf, while the other - Dictyopteridium sporiferum Feistm is found only in detached condition.
