dence to believe that the latter should also be transferred from 

 Lepidodendron to Lepidophloios. 1 



There are many interesting points in the structure of 

 Lepidodendron which cannot be dealt with in this paper, and some 

 that are yet imperfectly understood. 2 



1 In the large stem of Lepidophloios from Dalmeny, recently described by 

 Seward and Hill in the Trans. Roy. Soc Edin., Vol. XXXIX., Part 

 IV., p. 907, 1900, there is a thick zone of secondary xylem. It seems very 

 probable that we have here a large specimen of Lepidodendron Harcourtii of 

 Witham, which is really a Lepidophloios, and that the stem later described 

 by Williamson, from the Yorkshire and Lanarkshire Coal Measures, as 

 Lepidodendron Harcourtii, Witham, is perhaps not Witham's plant.

 be specially mentioned in connection with the internal organization of 

 Lepidodendron : —
