 PI, XJ, fig. 8, 9, 10 A, PL XII, fig. 8, 8 A, 9, 9 A, 10). But the 

 former seems to have had much more linear leaflets with a stronger 

 midrib, and the latter is said to have had a cordate base. Our plant 

 may be most closely allied to Taxites brevifolius Natli* from the Oolite 

 of England whose original specimens I had an opportunity to examine 

 at Stockholm. 



In the Bulletin I mentioned the leaflets now under consideration 

 as a new species of Cycadilcs. But as Prof. Nathorst believes them 

 to be undoubtedly the remains of a conifer, and as they occur 

 only in an isolated state, I now satisfy myself by calling it simply 

 Taxites sp. Loc— Ozo, Okamigd.

Two fragments of linear leaves. 2-3.5 mm. broad, gradually nar- 

 rowed above and furnished with a distinct evanescent midrib, on both 

 sides of which are seen fine longitudinal striae. I mentioned them 

 in the Bulletin as belonging to Cycadites gramineus Hr. (?). But now I 

 take the opportunity of bringing them under Taxites like the preceding 

 species, and indeed very near to T. longifolius XatJi. occurring in the 

 Rhaetic formation of Schonen in Sweden. Loc. — Shimamura.
