1 Should a closer inspection of these fossils prove that the stellate-like 

 capsule is rather an ideal than a true form, they may more probably be- 

 long to Cyatheites, the disposition of the sori resembling the recent genus 

 Cyathea ; the stellate appearance being produced by the pressure they have 

 subsequently undergone.
