A. R. Horwood—Upper Trias, Leicestershire. 413 
another may be the male cones, labelled Hcehinostachys oblongus. 
Dane Hills, Shoulder of Mutton Hill, Leicester. 
Incerte sedis —A number of other specimens may be doubtfully 
regarded as plant-remains, some associated with supposed fucoid, or 
Gorgonia, or annelid tracks, or as Lehinostachys oblongus. In the 
carbonaceous bands are obscure plant impressions resembling the 
leaves of Pterophyllum. 
Annelid or Crustacean tracks. —On the surfaces of the green gritty 
beds, below the Acrodus bed (Annelid bed), are numerous tracks and 
trails which may be regarded as the work of Annelids or Crustacea. 
Their mode of occurrence rather than their actual form suggests this, 
though it is analogous to that of other fossil tracks usually ascribed 
to Annelids. Well-boring, Shoulder of Mutton Hill, Dane Hills. 
They occur also in the Acrodus beds and Estheria marls.. 
Estheria minuta (Alberti).— Whilst this little bivalved Phyllopod is 
perhaps most common in the marls above the Acrodus sandstones, 
it occurs throughout the series, and thus ranges from the waterstones 
to the Rheetic beds. It is often numerous in calcareous marl partings, 
whilst in the sandstones it is rare. Belgrave, well-boring near west 
bridge, Shoulder of Mutton Hill, Dane Hills, Aylestone Road. 
Acrodus keuperinus (M. & S.).—Dorsal fin-spines of this species 
are not uncommon in the Acrodus beds, and less so in the Annelid 
beds below, which are the equivalent of Brodie’s green gritty marls 
(Q.J.G.8., 1893, p. 174). Teeth are also to be found in the Acrodus 
beds. Shoulder of Mutton Hill cutting, Dane Hills, Aylestone Road. 
Acrodus minimus, Ag.—A dorsal fin-spine found by Browne at 
Shoulder of Mutton Hill is assigned to Hybodus minor, which is in 
part, according to Dr. A. 8. Woodward, to be referred to this species. 
Acrodus sp.—Others may be assigned to this genus provisionally 
from Dane Hills and Aylestone Road, whilst many ichthyodorulites, 
_ fish-teeth, and spines may be similarly ascribed to this genus. The 
coprolites and fish-scales from Leicester, Dane Hills, and Aylestone 
Road are of more doubtful affinity. 
Gyrolepis quenstedti (Dames).—Browne found scales referred to 
this species at Aylestone Road in the Annelid bed. 
Colobodus frequens (Dames).—See the last. 
Labyrinthodontia.—A footprint or ‘footstep’, ‘‘4 inches in diameter, 
in form similar to the well-known Labyrinthodont footmarks of 
Storeton in Cheshire,’”’ was found by Plant in the Annelid beds in the 
railway cutting at Shoulder of Mutton Hill, and a footmark in the 
same beds at a well-boring near the west bridge. Plant also found 
fragments of bone 2 inches thick, 5 inches long, and 1 inch in 
diameter in the Annelid bed in the cutting, and Browne found others 
which he ascribes to an amphibian at Aylestone Road. This is 
interesting as Brodie also found Labyrinthodont bones in the Green 
Gritty Marls at Shrewley. Plant records them also for the Roman 
wall boring. 
Reptilian remains.—Possibly some of the foregoing should rather 
come under this head. A fragment of a tooth from Bede House 
Meadows is certainly reptilian. he fossil referred to, Zanystropheus, 
Owen, was half a caudal vertebra according to Professor H. G. Seeley,
