CARBONIFEROUS. 103 



quereux describes some very similar plants under the name of Neuropteris 

 Ge 



Geinitz (Vers. d. Steinkf. in Sachsen, p 20, pi. xxvi. figs. 3-5) figures 

 certain fossils very similar to the plant described by Germar and Kaulfuss, 

 which he believed to be identical with it. These he unites with Odontopteris 

 Reichiana, and in this view he is followed by Weiss (Foss. Flora d. Jung. 

 Steink. u. d. Bothl. p. 32). The nervation in Geinitz's figures appears finer 

 than in the figure given by Germar and Kaulfuss, with which latter the 

 specimen from the Forest, of Wyre agrees. 



Although I have provisionally treated this fossil as a separate species, it is 

 quite possible, notwithstanding the apparent difference in the coarser nerva- 

 tion of Germar and Kaulfuss's Filicites crispus from the figures of Odontop- 

 teris Reichiana given by Geinitz, that it may belong to that species. Odontop- 

 teris Reichiana also occurs at the Forest of Wyre. 



It is a little doubtful if, as supposed by some authors, Gutbier's Fucoides 

 dentatus (Vers. d. Zwick. Schwarzk. pi. 1, figs. 1, 2, and 4) is to be referred to 

 this species.
