SPHENOLEP1DIUM. 207 



V. 2139. PL XVI. Pig. 5. 



Smaller specimen, with more crowded leaves, leaf form dis- 

 tinctly preserved. Compare with the upper part of V. 2139, in 

 which the leaves are less closely arranged. Very similar to the 

 specimens figured by Schenk 1 in pi. xxxvii. figs. 3 and 4. 



V. 2139. 20 cm. in length. No doubt the same form as 

 Musettes Sternbergianus, Dunk. The thicker branch well pre- 

 served, showing clearly defined leaves, with the distal end free, 

 and the broader basal portion adpressed to the axis. Several 

 delicate branches shown at the upper end. Cf. Schenk, 1 pi. 

 xxxviii. fig. 3. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2141. Probably the same species, Cf. V. 2144, also 

 Ettingshausen's figures of Araucarites curvifolius, 2 some of which 

 Schenk refers to S. Sternbergianum. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2289, V. 22895. Larger examples with imperfect fragments 

 of cones. 



V. 2289?. Imperfectly preserved, probably specifically identical 

 with the above specimens. Compare the finer branches with 

 Bunker's Lycopodites, pi. viii. fig. 8. 3 



V. 2289r?. Imperfect fragment showing the leaves in side and 

 surface view. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2290, V. 2315. Small curved and closely crowded leaves, 

 probably identical with the form represented in Ettingshausen's 

 figures of Araucarites Dunkeri. Cf. also V. 2139#, etc. Possibly 

 this form should be regarded as a distinct species, but the evidence 

 is hardly sufficient to justify a separation from S. Sternbergianum. 

 Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2311rt. Cone ; fairly well preserved. 



V. 2919. The leaves show very clearly the single median vein.
