parallel with each other and with the margins of the pinnules ; 
in Z Leggetti, however, the bases of the pinnules toward the 
base of the frond are slightly rounded and narrowed and the 
nerves are somewhat divergent, bringing the plant nearer to O/o- 
zumites and into the same category with Z. Feneonis, Bret. 
The two plants hold much the same relation to each other as 
Paleozamia auctifolium and P. Cutchensis of Oldham and 
Morris, ‘‘ Fossil Flora of India,” pp. 29 and 30, Pl. XXI. and 
XXII. 
3. A species of Pterophyllum having very large and broad 
pinnules two inches or more in length by one inch in breadth, 
attached by the entire base, obliquely rounded at the other ex- 
tremity and traversed by many fine, parallel nerves. This is 
closely allied to Pterophyllum princeps of Oldham and Morris 
(“Geological Survey of India,” Pls. X. to XIII.) and Pterophyl- 
lum Braunsii and P. Blasi, Schenk (‘‘ Flora der Grenzschich- 
ten, “Tat. X1.). 
4. As pecies ofan Anomozamites with narrow fronds, and nearly 
quadrate pinnules, of which the exterior and upper angle is 
somewhat produced. This resembles A. Schaumburgensis, 
Dunker (‘‘ Monog. d. Nord Deutsch. Wealdform,” p. 15, Taf. L., 
II., VI.), but perhaps more closely Anomozamites majus Bret. 
sp. which is from the Rheetic. 
5. A fern too imperfectly preserved for satisfactory descrip- 
tion orcomparison. It hasa bi- or tripinnate frond with narrow 
pinne and small, closely set falcate pinnules, resembling Asple- 
nites Ottonis, Schenk, op. cit., Taf. XIV. 
6. Traces of another fern are seen on some of the specimens, 
having narrow, linear pinnules with a single row of fruit dots 
on either side of the strong midrib. This is quite distinct from 
the preceding species and is not unlike some portions of the fer- 
tile frond of Pecopteris bullatus, Bunbury, so common in the 
Richmond coal field. 
The plants enumerated above are so much like those with 
which they have been compared, all of which are from the Rhe- 
tic or Upper Trias, that I feel safe in the inference that the 
strata containing them are of that age. 
The SECRETARY, in reply to inquiry, made a statement of 
the condition of the negotiations looking toward the union of 
the New York Mineralogical Club with the Academy, and Pror. 
D. 8. Martin spoke of the desirability of co-operation and 
union among the various scientific societies of the city. 
Dr. N. L. Brirron made an informal verbal report of pro-
