94 TRIASSIC FISHES AND PLANTS. 
Schollera. The plant figured by Emmons’ is perhaps the summit of a 
stem which divides into five branches, and his figure 102° represents a 
smaller specimen with four divisions. This he compares with Baiera, but I 
am led to doubt its connection with that genus, both from its manner of 
branching and from the fact that, associated with the larger stems described 
above, I have one even smaller than that represented by Emmons, in which 
the stem terminates above in five nearly equal branches 
CLATHROPTERIS PLATYPHYLLA Brong. 
Pl. XXII, Fig. 6. 
At Sunderland, Westfield, and Durham, in the Connecticut Valley, 
fronds of Clathropteris have been frequently met with. Much more rarely 
fragments of the same fern have been obtained from the coarser beds of 
Newark and Milford, N. J. 
In 1855 Edward Hitchcock, jr., deseribed® a portion of a frond of Cla- 
thropteris found near Easthampton, Mass., about the middle of the Triassic 
series. To this plant he gave the name of C. rectiusculus; but it has the 
radiate arrangements of the lobes or pinnee which is characteristic of C. 
platyphylla Brong., and its details furnish no characters, judging from his 
figure and description, by which it can be distinguished from that species. 
Clathropteris platyphylla is a very widely distributed fern in the Liassic and 
Rheetie strata of the Old World, from England to India and China, and it 
has been collected by Professor Fontaine in the Virginia coal series. Fronds 
which I can not distinguish from those of this species also occur not unfre- 
quently at Durham, Conn. These are always imperfect, but were evidently 
of large size and had a digitate or radiate arrangement of the pinne. 
The fragment now figured is a portion of the upper part of a pinna, 
from the sandstone of Newark, N. J.
