24 DESCRIPTIONS OF FOSSIL PLANTS. 



obtuse-like branches. The largest fragment, flattened, 3 cm in diameter, 

 is as large as that figured by Heer. The character taken from the size 

 of the stem is of no great value; these fragments may represent the 

 same species as that of Heer, for one fragment (No. 733) has a whole 

 Sheath and the si em above, partly preserved, is striate. It may be also 

 the species mentioned or described as E. robustum Newb'y (Boston 

 Jouru. Nat. Hist., 1863). 

 Forty-one specimens ; Museum number, 2404, 24G5. 



Lygodium neuropteroides Lx. 



According to Gardner and Ett. this is L. Kd'dfassi Heer (Flor. von 

 Skopau; Beitrage zur naher. Keuntuiss d'Sachs Thiiringen Brauukohle, 

 p. 401) [2], PL VIII, fig. 21; PL ix, fig. 1, LS01). ileer's species is made of 

 a mere fragment of a lobe, which appears dentate and linear with lateral 

 nerves much more oblique and distant so that the reference of the 

 American leaves to the European species is very doubtful. Schimper 

 has not admitted or described it in his Paleontologie Vegetate.

 apex, and there rapidly tapering to the obtusely pointed apex. It has

 1, having the same degree of divergence, 50 degrees, as iu fig. 2.
