1.—Plants from the Little R. Group, St. John, N.B., and from the 
“Pale Argillites” of Charlotte County, N.B. 
Among the few plant remains that have been collected from the 
argillites or clay states on the north side of the granite hills that tra- 
verse diagonally the central part of Charlotte County are a Calamite 
from Oak Bay, and a Lepidostrobus from Flume ridge, both collected 
by the author about forty years ago. The first was an example of 
Archecalamites scorbiculatus, or an allied form, the second is described 
below. 
LEPIDOSTROBUS, sp. 

Fic. I.—Lepidostrobus—a. Part of cone preserved. Natural size. 
b. Two of the scales. Magnified 2-1. 
Portion of a cone or spike of this kind. The cone was lance-oval 
with rather straight sides and small close set and closely appressed 
scales, with strong mucronate points. The scales are narrowly oval, 
acuminate and the points, as preserved, terminate abruptly, they are 
in rows about 4 to 5 mm. apart, that run diagonally across the stem, 
and the row circles the cone in about the space of 20 mm. 
Size—The part of the cone preserved is about 50 mm. long, and 
it is 18 mm. wide at the base and 10 mm. at the top. The scale is 
about 6 mm. long and 14 to 2 mm. wide. 
Horizon and Locality—As regards the horizon of this form it is 
to be noted that it came from the “ Pale Argillites.” The surveyors 
of the Geological Survey of Canada who surveyed this part of southern 
New Brunswick in about 1868, while able to determine from fossils the
