V. 59. Plot) Bigs 5. 
A good specimen, about 12 cm. in length; leaves and nodes 
well shown, also the base of a lateral branch. St. Leonards. 
Presented by Mrs. Burnett, 1882. 
V. 59a. This small piece is probably the apical bud of a stem 
or branch. Cf. 3601. St. Leonards. 
Presented by Mrs. Burnett, 1882. 
V. 710. Weli-preserved stem; shows three internodes 2—2°5 cm. 
in length; leaves distinct. St. Leonards. Dawson Coll. 
V. 2284. Possibly a badly preserved leaf-sheath of Z. Lyell. 
Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2617. Pieces of the larger kind of stem with shorter inter- 
nodes. Cf. 8383, etc. In this specimen the leaves are distinct 
and appear to agree with those of the Z. Lyelli type. At one or 
two of the nodes where the leaf-sheaths are less complete there 
is a marked resemblance to £. Phillipsii,) Schimper. Cf. also 
L.. lusitanicum,? Heer. Some of these larger examples come very 
near to the figure of Calamites arenaceus minor, Jaeger,® a species 
of Lquisetites from the Stuttgart sandstone. Sussex. 
Beckles Coll. 
V. 2780a. Probably the tapering end of a stem showing over- 
lapping leaves. Cf. Mantell’s figure‘ showing a similar tapering 
stem. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll.

branch scars. Pounceford, Sussex. Beckles Coll.
