Remarks. The specimen I place here does not well show the details of the 

 nervation or the mode of attachment of the pinnules to the rachis, but in 

 general outline it agrees pretty well with Lindley and Hutton's figure. 

 Some time ago, when I saw the type of this species, I felt more inclined 

 to regard it as a Pecopteris allied to Pecopteris Bucklandi than as a Neuropteris.

Cyclopteris lacerata.

Remarks. Neuropteris Jimbriata, Lesquereux (Coal Flora of Pennsyl. p. 81, 

 pi. v. figs. 1-6), appears to be very closely related to this species. The only 

 stated difference between the two fossils lies in the veins of N. fimbriata, 

 Lesq., not being so "dense" as those of N. lacerata, Heer, sp. This dif- 

 ference may have been produced during fossilisation, or may be due to pecu- 

 liarities of the matrix in which the specimens are preserved. 



Cyclopteris ciliata, Heer (Flora Foss. Helv. p. 17, pi. vi. fig. 24), is closely 

 related to his Cyclopteris lacerata.
