agree with this interpretation and differs on the whole some- 

 what from Schenk's descriptions. The material is too poor, 

 however, to permit of any certain conclusions. 



In the little fragment in pi. 1, fig. 4, there appear to 

 be some faint traces of the venation, agreeing fairly well 

 with Schenk's illustrations. , 



Gutbiera angustiloha is tj'pically a Rhaetic species, and is 

 known from several districts. In Scania it has been found 

 in the Rhaetic beds of Pålsjö and possibly Billesholm and in 

 the Liassic of Sofiero and Hör.

Most of the plant-remains in the plant-bearing clay at 

 Munka Tågarp belong to Woochvardites microlobus Schenk, 

 which was recorded from this locality by Prof. Moberg, 

 after identification by Prof. Nathorst, in 1893. 



All the specimens are very small, representing portions 

 of single pinnae, but the characteristic venation ensures a 

 safe determination even of such minute fragments. The largest 

 specimens attain only a length of 1 cm. with a breadth of 

 5 mm. The pinna-rachis is very slender, the pinnules linear 

 — ovate, confluent at the base, with entire or crenulate margins 

 and obtuse apices. The midribs and the secondary veins of 

 the pinnules are distinct; the finer veins cannot he observed. 

 The reticulate nature of the venation, characteristic of the 

 genus, is evident, the secondarj^ veins forming bow-shaped 

 anastomoses with each other, as is best seen in figs. 8 and 

 16, pi. 1. In some of the enlarged figures in pi. 1, another 

 characteristic feature of the venation is shown. The first pair 

 of secondary veins in each pinnule run in a straight course 

 parallel with the rachis, those of adjacent pinnules meeting 

 and joining each other. These veins thus form, together 

 with the pinna-rachis and the lowermost parts of the raid- 

 ribs of the pinnules, very long, narrowly rectangular fields
