The claim is made that one of the specimens examined repre- 
sents the genus Kalymma of Unger, not previdusly recognized

Genessee shales of Moreland, Ky., and were subjected to micro- 
scopic examination. Kalymma grandis is figured—showing 
transverse section of stem, natural size and enlarged sections of 
vascular bundles, with wood cells, parenchyma, sclerenchyma 
cells, etc. The other species determined are Dadoxylon 
(Cordatoxylon) Clarkit, and D. Newberryt. The authors incident-
