Lepipostropus Mustieri (Johnston). 
Strobilus or cone imperfect, oblong, narrow, clyindrical, 
4+ inches long, and jinches in diameter; the longitudinal, 
striated cylindrical core of specimen about half an inch in 
diameter, indicates that the central longitudinal cavity or core 
occupied fully one third of the total diameter; bractze 
emerging from central axis ata slight descending angle, about 
20 in number, from 4 to 6 millimetres thick at base, and 
tapering downwards to margin, where they are from 2 to 3 
milimetres thick, and from which they suddenly bend up- 
wards, and form long, thin, leaf-like imbricating bracts 
enclosing sporangia cavities or cells, of similar appearance 
and size to the enclosing bractez 
This unique and interesting specimen was discovered by 
the author in the so-called auriferous sandstones of Campania, 
which belong to the Mesozoic Coal measures of Jerusalem. 
The sandstones are intimately related with shaly beds 
replete with impressions of Phyllotheca Australis, P. Hookeri 
and Zeugophyllites elongatus. 
Unfortunately the specimen soon after its discovery 
disappeared mysteriously from the Royal Society’s Museum, 
Hobart, where it was temporarily deposited. Fortunately 
a careful drawing was taken by the author at the time 
when it was discovered. In the Royal Society’s Museum, 
Hobart, there is a fragment of what appears to be a trunk of 
a species of Knorria. The locality cannot now be ascertained,. 
but from the character of associated shales, it is probable 
that 1t came from the Jerusalem Basin. If so, there is a 
likelihood that it may be related to the strobilus Z. muellert.

LEPIDODENDRON (BerGERIA) AvusTRALIS (M‘Coy). 
Stem about two inches in diameter, having rhombic scars, 
with straight thick boundaries, about .four inches long, and 
three and a half inches wide, with a very small oval, rounded, 
vascular, cicatrix, rarely near the middle or more usually 
eccentric towards the upper angle, and often connected with 
the appearance of a vertical shallow rounded sulcus ; branches. 
one inch in diameter having similar scars three lines long, and 
two and a half lines wide, upper and lower angles of the scars 
usually slightly more acute that the lateral ones, very rarely 
the lateral ones more acute.
