to have found fructifications on American Taeniopterids, 
but the evidence is inadequate. Certainly there is no basis 
for assuming that the Paleozoic members are cycado- 
phytes in a restricted sense. 
As a matter of permanent record it may be well to 
present a compilation of all the American occurrences and 
place them with their related species. 
The most comprehensive account of Paleozoic Tae- 
niopterids is that given by Professor T. G. Halle in his 
magnificent memoir on the Shansi flora.” In this work 
he describes eight species, six of which are new. Halle 
adopted a strict delimitation of species. Sellards” has 
given a full account of the Kansas Taeniopterids. More 
recently David White” and Elias” have added to our 
knowledge concerning their distribution in southwestern 
United States. White has also recorded a number of 
specimens from the Hermit Flora (‘‘Upper Permian’’) 
of Grand Canyon, Arizona.” These are attributed to 
three species, one of which was new: T'aeniopteris aff. 
T.eckhardti: Kurtze, T.angelica D. White (p. 98) and 
T.coriacea Goeppert. The first of these does not belong 
to Kurtze’s plant.
