Dictyophyllum Müusteri (Goepp.) Nath.

Several fragments of Dictijofhyllum occur at Rödaisberg, 

 all of which appear to belong to D. Münsteri (Goepp.) Nath. 



Most of the specimens represent only portions of single 

 lobes. The one in pi. 2, fig. 5, shows the median part of a 

 pinna, but it does not give any idea of the shape of the 

 latter. The lobes, some of which are figured in pi. 2, figs. 

 6 — ^8, have evidently been very long and narrowly linear, 

 tapering gradually towards the apex as in typical specimens 

 of D. Münsteri figured by Schenk ^ and Nathorst.^ The 

 margin is sometimes distinctly undulating or crenulate, which 

 character occurs also in some of the Franconian specimens. 

 The venation agrees fairly closely with that in typical speci- 

 mens of the species: the tertiary veins anastomose to meshes 

 which are, in the upper parts of the lobes, more or less 

 rectangular and are extended parallel to the secondary veins 

 of the pinna. All the specimens are sterile. 



The species has been found in Sweden at Pålsjö, Höga- 

 näs (younger) and Helsingborg, and may thus be considered 

 as indicating the upper Rhaetic. Outside Sweden it is known 

 especially from the Rhaetic of Theta in Franconia.
