2. L. squamosus, spec. nov. (Fig. 171, E.) 2 to .3 inches long, 

 1 inch tliick ; scales large, broadly trigonal, acute. Allied to L. tri- 

 gonolepis, but larger. Probably a cone of Lepidophloios. M. C, 

 Grand Lake (C. F. Hartt). 



3. L. lonffifolius, spec. nov. Long-leaved, like Lepidodetidron longi- 

 fulium, L. and H. M. C, Joggins (J. W. D.). 



4. Lepidostrohus, sp. Acute trigonal leaves, small. M. C, Joggins 

 (J. W. D.). 



5. Lepidostrohus^ sp. Eound, with obscure scales and remains of 

 long leaves. L. C, Horton (J. W. D.). 



6. L. Trigonolepis, Bunbury. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 



Lepidophyllum, Brongn. 



1. Lepidophjllum lanceolatum, L. and H. M. C, Joggins; U. C, 

 Pictou (J. W. D.). 



2. L. Trinerve (?), L. and H. Two-nerved or three-nerved, like L. 

 trinerve, L. and IL, but narrower. Both the above are parts of 

 Lepidostrobi. U. C, Joggins (J. W. D.). 



3. L. Majus (?), Brongn. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown). 



4. Lepidoplujllum^ sp. Broad ovate, short, pointed, one-nerved, 

 half an inch long. U. C, Pictou. 



5. L. intermedium^ L, and H. M. C, Sydney (R. Brown's list). 

 Halonia, Lepidostrohus and Lepidophjllum^ including only parts of 



Lepidodendron and Lepidophloios, are to be regarded as merely pro- 

 visional genera. 



Lepidophloios, Sternberg. 



1. Lepidophloios Acadianus, spec. nov. (Fig. 171). Leaf-bases 

 broadly rhombic, or in old steins regularly rhombic, prominent, 

 ascending, terminated by very broad rhombic scars having a central 

 point and two lateral obscure points. Outer bark laminated or scaly. 

 Surface of inner bark with single points or depressions. Leaves long, 

 linear, with a strong keel on one side, five inches or more in length. 

 Cone-scars sparsely scattered on thick branches, either in two rows 

 or spirally, both modes being sometimes seen on the same branch, 

 Scalariform axis scarcely an inch in diameter in a stem five inches 

 thick. Fruit, an ovate strobile with numerous acute scales covering 

 small globular spore-cases. This species is closely allied to Uloden- 

 dron majus and Lepidophloios laricinus^ and presents numerous varie- 

 ties of marking. M. C, Joggins, Salmon River, Pictou (J. W. D.) ; 

 Sydney (R. Brown). 



2. L. prominulus, spec. nov. Leaf-bases rhombic, pyramidal,
