84 RUFFORDIA. 
shown in V. 2812, and here, too, portions of petioles occur attached 
to the main axis; the piece of frond represented in the figure cannot 
be traced to the rhizome, but the petiole agrees exactly with such 
basal portions as are actually attached; there can, therefore, be 
little or no doubt as to the connection between the rhizome and 
this frond fragment. The thin and flexuous petioles agree 
closely with those seen in Pl. V. Fig. 383 (V. 2156) and other 
specimens. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 1069. Breadth of the segments much the same as in Pl. V. 
Fig. 3. Near Hastings. Presented by P. Rufford, Esq., 1885. 
V. 2152. Very similar to V. 1069, but less complete. Lccles- 
bourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2155¢ and V. 2155d. There is a very close agreement between 
these two fragments and Dunker’s figures of Sphenopteris Gipperti 
in his Wealdenbildung, Pl. IX. Fig. 1. Cf. also Pl. V. Fig. 34 
(V. 2156). 
V. 2155¢. A badly preserved specimen. Cf. Pl. V. Fig. 33. 
Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2157a. Of the same type as Pl. V. Fig. 34 (V. 2156), but 
somewhat smaller. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2167. Practically identical with V. 2351. In this specimen 
and several others there are closely associated fragments of pinne, 
of which the ultimate segments show a marked variation in size ; 
also portions of fertile fronds. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2192. One fertile pinna and a portion of a second. The 
individual sporangia are seen on some of the pinnules. This 
specimen agrees in all points with Pl. III. Fig. 6 (V. 2295) and 
Pl. III. Fig. 5 (V. 2781). Cf. also Pl. V. Fig. 3a (V. 2156) and 
Pl. V. Fig. 5 (V. 2160). Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 
V. 2228. Badly preserved fragments of pinne with narrow 
ultimate segments. Cf. V. 2157, Pl. 1V. Ecclesbourne. 
Rufford Coll. 
V. 2341. The same as V. 2781. On the same rock is a fragment 
of Acrostichites Ruffordi, sp. noy. Kcclesbourne. Rufford Coll.
