JURASSIC PLANTS FROM KAGA, HTDA, AND ECHIZEN. 



11 



(20 kilom.) S.E. of the preceding place, and 780 m. above the sea- 

 level. Mr. Kochi.be observed the following section, with strata 

 striking- N.AV. and 



0o^ 



dipping 15° S.W. Here the plant-beds evidently overlie the shell- 

 layer. The fossils are brown-coloured, imbedded in gray shale, which, 

 when weathered, also becomes brownish, so that in this case they are 

 not easily distinguished. Sometimes the shale is somewhat arena- 

 ceous and greyish-green in colour. 



The species of fossil plants which I have been able to obtain 

 from the above seven localities number in all 45, to which are to be 

 added four others already described by Dr. Geyler, 18 ) viz., Pecopteris 

 Saportana Hr., Zamites parvifolius Geyl., Cycadeospermum japonicum 

 Geiß, and Ginkgo sibirica Hr. 19 ) This makes the total number 49 

 which way be classified and distributed as follows : 



18) Dr. Geyler also mentions Adiantites amurensis Hr., Pecopteris exiliformis Geyl., and 

 Podozamites ensiformis Hr. The first I consider as doubtful, as the piunules of his specimens 

 show pointed instead of rounded apices. The second I believe to be identical with Pecopteris 

 exilis Phill., and the third to be the leaflets of Podozamites lanceolatiis genuinus Hr. 



19) These four species will be considered together with those of Shimamura in the tables, as 

 Rein's descriptions of the fossil locality seem to point to that place.
