A cycad, hitherto known only from the Urgonian beds of 

 Wernsdorf in the Northern Caipathians, is represented in China 

 by the fine specimen here figured and one other less perfect. 

 The figured specimen represents a part of a leaf probably be- 

 longing to its lower portion. The leaf is pinnate with segments 

 inserted upon the rachis, but as the .specimen shows the back 

 side of the leaf, they appear as if attached to the lateral sides 

 of the rachis. Segments are linear, obtuse, rather abruptly 

 narrowed at base, sessile, straight, varying in length, being 

 longest in the middle portion of the leaf, sub-02:)posite or alter- 

 nate, mostly set at right angles to the rachis, only slightly 

 inclined forward in the anterior portion, separated from one 

 another by an interval which varies but is generally less than 

 the breadth of the segments ; but in the anterior part they are 

 closer and almost touch. The rachis is slender, straight and 

 longitudinally grooved. The veins in our specimens are not 

 well preserved, but on careful examination they are seen to be 

 fine, divergent and dichotomous, just as represented in Schexk's 

 figure. 



The length attained by the longest segments is not exactly 

 known, for all of them have their apices broken off. But this 

 much is certain that they are more than 30 mm. long, with a 

 breadth of about ö mm.
