Tiiere is abundant evidence that Sagenopteris Phillipsi 

 (L. & H.) is a species characterised by a considerable 

 variation in the form and number of the leaflets. The 

 specimen represented in pl. iii. fig. 7, to which Lindley and 

 Hutton gave the name Otopteris cuncata, differs consider- 

 ably from the examples figured by these authors as 

 Glossopteris Phillipsi, but the difference is hardl}' sufficient 

 to warrant the specific separation of the two forms of leaf. 

 In 185 I Bunbury discussed at some length the affinities of 

 Otopteris cnneata L. & H., and expressed the view that 

 this type " is merely an imperfect or abnormal state — 

 probably a seedling — of Sagenopteris Phillipsi." In the 

 third edition of Philliixs' Geology of the Yorkshire Coast, 

 it is also suggested the small cuneate form may be 

 specifically identical with Sagenopteris Phillipsi.
