the British Coal Measures, and elsewhere in Europe. This identi- 

 fication may be very possibly correct, but until a description and 

 illustrations of the specimens have been published, it would perhaps 

 not be wise to lay any stress on the occurrence of this species in 

 association with the Glossopteris flora. 



L. Pedroanum is known only from the Serra Partida, Candiota, 

 and from Arroyo dos Ratos, both in the province of Rio Grande do 

 Sul, Brazil. 



V. 230. PI. I, Fig. 2. Also figured by Carruthers (69), pi. v, 

 figs. 10 and 11, and a further specimen on pi. v, fig. 8. 



A cast of a branch or stem, 65 cm. long and 18 mm. across, 

 showing the contiguous, spirally arranged leaf-cushions. The 

 cushions are 6 mm. long and 2'5 mm. broad. The upper and 

 lower angles of the cushions are elongate, and bent in opposite 

 directions. The lateral angles are very rounded. The leaf-scars 

 are small and indistinct, the lower angles being rounded. The 

 prints are not preserved. The field of the cushion below the scar 

 is flat, without a keel or ridges, or if ridges are present they are 

 very slight. The leaves are small, acicular. In pi. i, fig. 2, 

 leaves are seen at the side of the specimen, apparently still 

 attached to the stem. 



V. 230 a is a plaster cast of the above, showing the leaf-bases in 

 relief. 



On the same specimen another branch occurs, densely clothed with 

 acicular leaves. This was figured by Carruthers on pi. v, fig. 8.

 and in some instances a triangular pit representing the leaf-scar.
