 arranged irregularly. 



Feistmantel' records Selaginites, Lepidostrohits, Hallonia., 

 Stigmaria and SigiUaria from Port Alfred, and Lepidodendron 

 from Grahamstown, ))ut I have not come across specimens which 

 could with certainty be referred to the first four genera. The

 name is uncertain ; it suggests that some stems bearing cones were 

 once found along with the ordinary specimens.
