CARBONIFEROUS. 95 



examining others in the collections of the Bath Museum and J. McMurtrie, 

 Esq., F.G.S., Eadstock. 



From the examination of these fossils, I am unable to find any point by 

 which N. flexuosa and N. plicata can be separated. Some of the examples 

 are identical with the figure of N. plicata, given by Lesquereux (Coal Flora 

 of Pennsyl. pi. x. fig. 1). 



Only one of Sternberg's figures of N. plicata shows the terminal pinnule, 

 which is smaller than those occurring on most of the specimens of N. flexuosa, 

 but this alone does not seem to me to be of specific importance.
