is that the ventral sporangiferous parenchymatous projection 

 of Spencerites is absent in the recent species. In support of a 

 comparison between these forms it is noted that though later 

 observers have not described the sporophylls of Spencerites as cohe- 

 rent, Williamson states that they may be so; the author from a 

 study of Williamson's specimens is convinced that the latter was 

 right. It is held that though a relationship between Spencerites and 

 L. cernuum is not proved there is a prima facie case for such a 

 view, especially as there is a probability that Spencerites was 

 homosporous and eligulate. Further it is open to question whether 

 any special morphological significance should be attached to the 

 ventral outgrowth of the sporophyll in Spencerites ; nor is there any 

 evidence of the derivation of this eligulate group from any ligulate 

 Lycopods. Isabel Browne (London).
