Abstract
1. Four fossil wood specimens from the Tertiary of South-east Asia are described here. Two are new from India; one is Dipterocarpoxylon burmense from Burma and the other Dipterocarpoxylon annamense from Indo-China. All of them resemble Glutoxylon assamicum and are indistinguishable. They have been placed in the genus Glutoxylon and named G. burmense (Holden) n. comb.; Holden' specimen having priority is given the specific name. 2. The recent and past distribution of theGluta shows that its centre has shifted about 1, 000 miles towards the south-east.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
