Stems of the above plant are associated with Phyllotheca in 

 the specimen now being described, one example measuring 22 cm. 

 in length. Greatest width 24 mm. The surface of the stem is 

 closely striate, the groovings numbering about 24 on the larger 

 poi'tion of one stem. There are a few scattered and attached 

 filiform leaves associated with the stems, and others can be 

 indistinctly seen closely adpressed near the nodes. Leaf and 

 branch scars are not infrequent, and appear as circular depressions 

 with a central mannnilla, sometimes radially striate {PI. 

 XXVII., Fig. 9). The stem grooves pass continuously from 

 internode to internode. 



This plant occurs here at a higher horizon than was formerly 

 known, for its previous records are restricted to the Star beds. 



It is just possiljle that some of the douiitful forms thought to 

 be Phyllotheca of the P. deliquescens type may eventually prove 

 to be referable to Archaeocalamites.^
