A few interesting plant impressions are described out of an old collection made by the author and his friends in 1934 from the Rajmahal Hills. It includes two new species of Rhizomopteris (R. Sahnii and R. rajmahalense). one new species of Cladophlebis (C. Srivastavai), one new species of Cycadeospermum (C. indicum), one new species of Conijerocaulon (C. rajmahalense), and one new species of Cycadolepis (C. indica).
Besides an impression of a Williamsonia flower some cycadean seeds and stems have been figured. All the fossils are characteristic of the Rajmahal flora.
