DOI:

The notes and photographs given here were left uncompleted by Professor Sahni. He believed that they were of great potential importance and had consulted many people about them during his tour of America and Europe. At the same time, he appears to have doubted the plant nature of some of the specimens. He left the photographs given here. together with some others. and a general introduction to the paper in note form. This I have freely edited and take responsibility for any mistakes that may have been made.
He left no full description of the specimens, but merely pencil notes written around some of the figures. In describing the specimens, I have availed myself of these notes but again I must assume responsibility for any mistakes.
