which appears to be that of a pine, though the impression is not a 
very good one, and it may belong to the same species as the leaves just

Plate IX. 
Among the collections of 1905 there were a large number of frag- 
ments of various sizes, from locality 1428, representing :the bipinnate 
frond of a fern. “ In a few. instances these were so large and complete 
as to permit of a ready recognition of all the essential characteristics. 
The description obtained from these latter is as follows :— 
Frond twice pinnate; the rachis upwards of 7 mm. broad: pinnæ 1.3 cm. 
distant and widely spreading at angles of 76°-90°, the latter apparently the 
result of displacement, upwards of more than 10 ecm. in length; the rachis 0.5 
mm. broad and very slender, linear, 11 mm. broad at the base and above the 
middle gradually tapering toward the apex which is not shown; in the longest, 
6 mm. broad at a distance of 10 cm. from the base. Pinnules crowded but 
not strictly contiguous, distinct, attached by the full width of the broad base; not 
decurrent; 5 mm. long and 2.5 mm. wide; oblong, abruptly rounded at the broad 
apex or more rarely triangular and obtuse as the result of drying before burial; 
at first horizontal or at an angle of 89°, gradually ascending and toward the 
apex becoming 65°; terminal pinnules not represented in any of the specimens; 
venation simple with free and submarginal terminations; sori not represented.
