84 CANADIAN FOSSILS. '^ , 



were found, though as somo of these had their leaves attached, they wore 

 probubly not derived from verj distant localities. Attached to one of the 

 specimens was a small strobile, too obscure to shew its characters distinctly, 

 but sufficient to indicate the general form of the fructification, which v is 

 not before known. (Fig. 84).

 Fig. 10. — U.D. ? M.D. ? Akron, Ohio. Also Lower Carboniferous. 



I believe the beds from which this species was obtained at Akron, Ohio, 

 are now regarded as Lower Carboniferous, a conclusion which I suggested 

 in the paper above cited, in consequence of this species being so charac- 

 teristic of the Lower Carboniferous in Nova Scotia.

This is evidently a Lepidodendron quite distinct from L. Gaspianum ; 

 but all the specimens I have met with are very obscure in their markings.

" Stem slender, tortuous, dichotomous ; barren branches with short erect 

 or recurved leaves, apparently in two ranks ; fertile branches lateral, 

 one-sided, in the form of sessile strobiles. These strobiles are the 

 Lepidostrobus Richardsoni of my formei papers." 



• 

 This is a plant of very slender and probably herbaceous habit, the 

 branches looking almost like Graptolites. It bears strobiles of com- 

 paratively large size, in rows on the side of the stem and with strong 

 scales standing at right angles to the branches. The figure referred to 

 above in J. G. S. XIX, well represents these points.
