confidence, but it is in this case also EhaBtic types with which the 

 Stormberg plant exhibits the greatest resemblance. 



Phanicopsis. — A widely-spread form of leaf of which the systematic 

 position is uncertain. Leaves from Europe, China, Australia, and 

 Tongking (referred by Zeiller to Naggeratliioims) of Ehgetic age and 

 species described by Heer from Arctic Jurassic rocks exhibit a very 

 close resemblance to the African specimens. 



Stenopteris elongata. — A little-known type occurring in South 

 America, Australia, and South Africa in beds which are probably of 

 Ehsetic age. 



[Note. — Since the above was written I have received, through 

 the kindness of Professor Zeiller, a copy of his atlas of the " Flore 

 fossile des gites de Charbon du Tonkin " (Paris, 1902). Some of 

 the plants shown in the unusually good photographic reproductions 

 bear a close resemblance to Stormberg species. Schizoncura carrcrei 

 Zeill. is probably identical with the stem which I have named 

 S. krasseri ; Cteuopteris sarreni Zeill. probably represents a type 

 closely allied to, but not identical with, Thinnfcldia ; the leaves 

 referred to Nmggerathiopsis hislopi may, I think, be identical with 

 Fhoenicopsis elongata.]
