lected from the Waynesburg Coal, Washington Group 
(Lower Dunkard) at Cassville, West Virginia. 
An unfortunate confusion has been caused in Kurope 
as a result of a citation by Potonie’ who referred ‘‘ 7‘ 
newberryana’ ex parte to 7. jeyunata and cited pl. 84 
fig. 9, 92in the synonymy. This isa misstatement as Sel- 
lards recognized in 1900," because the figures refer to 
T’ lescuriana not) Ti newberriana. Taeniopteris newber- 
riana belongs to the group of T\coriacea Goeppert—a 
relationship which Fontaine and White recognized. They 
suggested that 7" /eseuriana was amember of the 7. mul- 
tinerois group. This reference is more trivial than is ap- 
parent, because 7° jejunata differs from 7. mad/tinervis 
Weiss chiefly in possessing bipinnate fronds. 
It is not certain that the Monongahela specimens 
are identical with V\/eseuriana. No specimens of this 
species are known for comparison and the published fig- 
ures are almost of no value. Consequently the name 7‘ 
lescuriana must be retained until the type can be found 
and redescribed. 
The fragments are sufficient for diagnosis and may 
be referred without hesitation to 7". jejunata,
