EQUISETITES. 25 



V. 59. PL I. Fig. 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. 59#. This small piece is probably the apical bud of a stem 

 or branch. Cf. 3601. St. Leonards. 



Presented ly Mrs. Burnett, 1882. 



V. 710. Well-preserved stem ; shows three internodes 2-2 4 5 cm. 

 in length ; leaves distinct. St. Leonards. Dawson Coll. 



V. 2284. Possibly a badly preserved leaf-sheath of E. Lyelli. 

 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 E. Lyelli type. At one or 

 two of the nodes where the leaf-sheaths are less complete there 

 is a marked resemblance to E. Phillipsii, 1 Schimper. Cf. also 

 E. lusitanicum? Heer. Some of these larger examples come very 

 near to the figure of Calamites arenaceus minor, Jaeger, 3 a species 

 of JSquisetites from the Stuttgart sandstone. Sussex. 



Beckles Coll. 



V. 2730$. Probably the tapering end of a stem showing over- 

 lapping leaves. Cf. Mantell's figure 4 showing a similar tapering 

 stem. Ecclesbourne. Rufford Coll. 



2864. Several specimens with good nodes and leaves; also 

 branch scars. Pounceford, Sussex. Beckles Coll. 



2867. This piece of stem shows five internodes, measuring 

 10 cm. in length and 1*5 cm. in breadth. One distinct branch 

 scar, with traces of others. Imperfect impressions in some places 

 of the long leaf-teeth. Cf. Schenk, Palaeontographica, vol. xix. 

 pi. xxii. figs. 10-11. Mantell Coll. 



3579. An unusually long piece of a branch attached to the stem.
