V. 2125. Rachis 19 cm. in length. Longest pinna 12cm., 

 gradually tapering towards the tip, which is not present. The 

 long, narrow, and tapering segments of this specimen are exactly 

 the same as those in the smaller examples, V. 2262 and V. 1069.

Rufford Coll. 



V. 2373#. Broad rachis, 1*2 mm. at the lowest end, hut ohviously 

 flattened. Groove in the middle, and on each side of the groove 

 there are two elliptical scars marking the places to which segments 

 were attached ; some of the segments appear to have a basal 

 callosity ; pinnas opposite or suboppoaite. Cf. Nathorst's figure 

 (PI. Y. Fig. 10) 2 of the rachis of what he calls Z. Naumanni. 

 Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2698. Yery large specimen, but the details not well 

 preserved. Rachis 43 cm. long ; pinn&e of the gradually tapered 

 form, as in V. 2363, etc. The upper portion the same as V. 2898, 

 V. 21253, etc. Breadth of uppermost pinna 1-5-2 mm.; that of 

 the lowest 1 cm. This appears to be a frond seen from the lower 

 surface, the pinnae being, therefore, apparently laterally attached 

 to the rachis. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2898. A fine example of what is probably a partially 

 expanded frond. Rachis about 20 cm. long. Some pinna3 about 

 14cm. in length and 3-4 mm. broad; towards the tip the pinna3 

 are crowded and imbricate, with a width of about 3 rum. ; towards 

 the base 6 mm. broad. Sussex. Beckles Coll. 



Cf. the tip of this and V. 2120, V. 2125J, etc. V. 3153, 

 V. 3154, V. 3156, and V. 3157. Other specimens of this species.
