ward and are usually only divided once. This fragment is 

 of the C. Roesserti-type, except that the secondary veins 

 normally divide only once. Another fragment is shown in 

 pi. 1, figs. 22 and 23. It is still more incomplete, consisting 

 only of a portion of a pinnule. It differs from the former 

 specimen in the venation, the secondary veins forming a 

 wider angle with the midrib and having more diverging 

 branches. The specimen hereby more approaches the C. 

 nebbensis-type. 



There are different opinions as to the relation of C. 

 7iebbensis and C. Roesserti, and it is impossible to decide to 

 which of these species the present fragments should be re- 

 ferred, should both species be kept separate. The simple 

 branching of the secondary veins is more characteristic of 

 C. nebbensis. For the present purposes the question is of little 

 importance, since both species are characteristic Rhaetic plants.

Cladophlebis (Eboracia?) lobifolia (Phill.) Brgn. appears 

 to be represented at Rödaisberg by a couple of fragments. 

 The best of these, of which the counterpart is also preserved, 

 is figured in pi. 2, figs. 3 and 4. It consists of a portion of 

 a pinna with several pinnules. These are rather short, ovate, 

 somewhat acute and falcate, with the distal edge a little 

 retreciated, the proximal decurrent. As the base of the pinna 

 is not preserved, the distinguishing character of the species, 

 viz. the aberrant shape of the proximal basal pinnule, is not 

 shown by this specimen. The resemblance borne in other 

 respects to Cladophlebis lobifolia renders the specific identity 

 fairly probable, however. Both the shape of the base of 

 the pinnules and especially their venation agree closel}^ with 

 typical specimens of C. lobifolia. The venation is especially 

 characterized by the strong development and double forking 

 of the secondary veins in the lower part of the pinnule. No 

 trace of the fructification is preserved, and the specimens 

 are therefore kept under the name of Cladophlebis. Tho-
