 be so characteristic of this plant are not clearly seen, although 

 in some parts of the pinnule, there are indistinct objects which 

 may be regarded as such.

There is only a single fragment of a pinna with about 6 

 pinnules, all on one side of a rachis, to which they are attached 

 by the w'hole base and at a very broad angle. These pinnules 

 are close together, finger-like in shape, about 8 mm long and 

 2 mm broad, and obtuse at apex. The venation is indistinct, yet 

 so far as can be made out mi\\ a lens, the secondary veins which 

 are given off at a very wide angle from the midrib are dichoto- 

 mous. I believe that this fern, fragmentary as it is, belongs to 

 the above named species already described by Zale«sky from the 

 same place.
