attachment of the leaf -sheaths to the node, and the delicate 

 longitudinal striations on the internodes. The contraction of the 

 veins at the base of the leaf- sheath is very well seen in this 

 specimen. 



Bard wan Coalfield. 



V. 4413ff. A specimen similar to V. 73795, and probably from 

 the same locality. 



Other specimens:— V. lOdda, V. 70990, V. 7099rZ, V. 7099/, 

 V. 7099//, V. 44130, V. 4413<f, V. 6074, V. 7198, V. 7349; 

 all from India and mostly from the Bardwan Coalfield. 



Stem-casts. 



V. 7379ff. A long axis, 32 cm. in length and 2 cm. wide. 

 Five nodes are seen, and portions of six internodes. The internodes 

 are 6-4, 7, 7 6, and nearly 8'9 cm. long respectively. The nodal 

 characters are not very well preserved, but on several of the nodes 

 a row of oval scars can be seen. The characters of this impression 

 agree closely with those of the specimens figured by Feistmantel (80), 

 pi. ixA, figs. 3-6, and pi. viiiA, fig. 4. This stem is associated with 

 foliar branches of Schizoneura gondwanensis, and another stem of 

 similar habit. 



Bardwan Coalfield. 



V. 7099c. On the back of this specimen there is a stem-cast, 

 nearly 17'5cm. long, showing three nodes and portions of four 

 internodes. The striations on the internodes are not prominent, as 

 in pith-casts (?) of Schizoneura, the grooves between them being only 

 very slight. At the node there appears to be a ring of small oval 

 scars. These characters are not, however, very clearly seen in this 

 specimen, since the preservation is far from good. This specimen 

 rnay, however, be compared with Feistmantel (80), pi. ixA, figs. 3-6. 



Bardwan Coalfield. 



V. 7100J. A badly-preserved stem, 2 cm. broad, showing a single 

 node. Possibly similar in character to V. 1379a. 



Bardwan Coalfield. 



V. 7100c. A stem-cast, 12*5 cm. long and 16 mm. broad, showing 

 a single node, on which are seen two fairly large subcircular 

 scars, whose greatest diameter is about 5 mm., with umbo-like 

 prominences placed somewhat eccentrically. The long internodes
