Remarks. Sphenopteris trifoliolata, Brongt. (Hist. d. Veget. Foss. p. 202, 

 pi. liii. fig. 3), is equivalent to his 8. obtusiloba, and that form of it which 

 Sternberg named S. irregularis (Vers. ii. p. 63, pi. xvii. fig. 4).

Sauveur, V6get. Foss. de la Belgique, pi. xviii. fig. 3. 



? Sphenopteris polyphylla. 

 Lindley & Hutton, Foss. Flora, vol. ii. p. 147. 



Remarks. There is little doubt in my mind as to Sphenopteris polyphylla, 

 L. & H., being the same plant as those identified in error by Andrae as S. 

 obtusiloba, Brongt., and subsequently named /Sphenopteris Sauveurii, by 

 Cr6pin. 



Unfortunately the type of Lindley & Hutton's plant seems to be lost ; so in 

 the meantime, S. polyphylla is placed in doubt under S. Sauveurii, Cr6pin, 

 but should Lindley & Hutton's fern prove to be the same plant as S. 

 obtusiloba, Andrae (non Brongt.), their name, S. polyphylla, must be sub- 

 stituted for S. Sauveurii. 



Between Lindley & Hutton's plate and fig. 1 of Andrae's plate x., it is 

 difficult to fix on any character by which these two species can be separated.
