Notes on Devonian Plants from Scotland. 9 
tofore described in important particulars. The specimen is 
a carbonized fertile stem 8 c.m. long and 6 mm. wide, 
showing a short branch near the base. The leaves are 
narrowly lanceolate, acute and somewhat spreading. The 
basal articulation of the scales is obscure, but among these 
organs, sometimes strictly basal or again scattered irre- 
gularly over the entire remains, are carbonized sporangia 
1 mm. in diameter. The indications of the specimen point 
to a spiral arrangement of the leaves. The whole aspect of 
the plant is strongly suggestive of Lycopodium selago, both 
in its general form and the way the fruit is produced. 
(Plate I, Fig. 2.) The accompanying figure, giving an ideal 
section of the fertile axis, will convey some idea of the 
relation of sporangia, leaves and central axis. I therefore 
deem it expedient to distinguish it by a separate name as 
LL. reidii. The description would then be as follows: 
Lycopodites reidit, n. sp. 
Stems branching. Leaves disposed spirally, narrowly 
lanceolate, acute, 5 mm. long, 1 mm. broad at the base. 
Sporangia globular, 1 mm. broad.

longitudinal striations like a fine parallel veining, and —
