Remarks. The Collection contains a fine specimen from Camerton. It is 

 about 7 inches long, and at its broadest part about 6 inches wide. The pinna; 

 are alternate, lanceolate ; the basal and longest pinna measures 3 inches in 

 length, and at its base fully Ij inches wide. The pinnules on the lower side 

 of the pinna are longer than those on the upper side. The pinnules are 

 alternate, lobed, the lobes being again more or less dentate. On the upper 

 portion the pinnae are almost oblong, pinnules confluent, the lower one with 

 about three teeth. The pinnules appear to have been recurved, as their 

 outline is seldom clearly seen, the greater majority of them having their 

 margins embedded in the matrix. The lower basal pinnule has a large lobe 

 directed to the main axis, which is moderately thick. 



The veins are strongly marked and almost impart a wrinkled appearance
