Neuropteris, Brongn. 



1. Neuropteris rarinerris, Bunbury (Fig. 156,/). M. C, Sydney 

 (R. Brown) ; Grand Lake and Springhill (C. F. Hartt) ; Bay de 

 Chaleur (Logan). 



2. N. pcrelegans, spec. nov. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 

 Resembles N. elegans, Brongn., but bas narrower pinnules, and 

 nerves less oblique to the midrib. Tbe pinnules were thick and 

 leathery, rough or cellular-netted above, and showing the venation 

 only on the underside. 



3. N. cordaia, Brongn. (and var. angustifolia). (Fig. 166, B). 

 The ferns referred to this species are identical with N. hirsuta of 

 Lesquereux. They abound in the Middle and Upper Coal formations, 

 and have larger pinnules than any of the other ferns. A single 

 terminal pinnule in my collection is five inches long. The surface is 

 always more or less hairy. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown) ; U. C, Pictou 

 (J. W. D.). 



4. N. Voltzii, Brongn. A single imperfect specimen like this 

 species, but uncertain. M. C, Pictou (J. W. D.). 



5. N. gigantea, Sternb. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown) ; Grand Lake 

 (C. F. Hartt) ; U. C, Pictou (J. W. D.). 



6. N. flexuosa, Sternb. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown); Joggins (J. 

 W. D.). 



7. N. heterophylla, Brongn. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown) ; U. C, 

 Pictou (J. W. D.). 



8. N. Loshii, Brongn. Bay de Chaleur (Logan). 



9. N. acutifolia, Brongn. M. C, Sydney (Lyell's list). 



10. N. conjugata, Goepp. M. C, Sydney (Brown's list, "Acad. 

 Geol."). 



11. N. attenuata, L. and H. M. C, Sydney (1. c). 



12. N. deyitata, Lesq. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 



13. N. Soretii (Brongn.). M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 



14. N. auriculata, Brongn. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 



15. iV. cyclopteroides, spec. nov. (Fig. 166, F). Pinnate; pinnules 

 contiguous or overlapping, obliquely round-ovate, attached at the 

 lower third of the base ; nerves numerous, spreading from the point 

 of attachment. Allied to N. Villiersi, Brongn. M. C, Sydney (R. 

 Brown). 



Odontopteris, Brongn. 

 1. Odontopteris Sehlotheimii, Brongn. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown) ; 

 Bay de Chaleur (Logan) ; U. C, Pictou (J. W. D.).
