42 CATALOGUE OP FOSSIL PLANTS 



43. — Bechera grandis, L. et H. Terminal portion of young branch 

 with foliage resembling figure in Foss. Flora, pi. 173. The 

 ends of the branches appear to be tufts of unexpanded leaves. 

 Loc— Shale above the High-Main, Gosforth. (H. C. 103). 



Small Branches with Fructification. — Spicaz fertiles. 



44. — Calamites nodosus, L. et H. Type specimen, F. F., pi. 15, f. 1. 

 On this slab there is the cast of a Calamite stem with im- 

 pressions of cicatrices ; only one cicatrix at each joint is 

 visible ; a small branch, with one whorl of small fertile cones, 

 lies near, but it is very doubtful whether the branch which 

 lies near is attached to the cicatrix of the lower joint and 

 really belongs to the stem. The fertile branch seems to be 

 accidentally lying near the branching part of Calamites 

 Suckowii. 

 Loc— Shale above the Low-Main Seam, Felling. (H. C. 50). 



45. L. et H. Type specimen, F. F., pi. 15, f. 2. 



Lower part of branch very similar to the branch in f. 1. The 

 base of the branch forms a round mass or knob. The slab is 

 covered with numerous fertile cones, but they are not at- 

 tached, and do not belong to the branch. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Low-Main Seam, Felling. (H. C. 51). 



46. L. et H. Type specimen, F. F., pi. 16. 



A large slab covered with five or six branches about seven 

 inches long, with five or six whorls of cones. The lower end 

 of figured branch, rounded, and knob-like, as in pi. 15, f. 2 ; 

 another branch shews the same peculiarity. There are six 

 whorls of cones now shewn on the branch figured pi. 16 — a 

 piece of shale at the top having been removed by some recent 

 investigator: none of the branches shew the terminal end 

 perfect. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Low-Main Seam, Felling. (H. C. 49). 



47. Branch and several long fertile cones, rather indistinct. 



Loc. — Shale above the Bensham Seam, Jarrow. (H. C. 52). 



48. Calamite stem, having the appearance of C. cannce- 



formis, L. et H., on this slab, with long branch and fertile 



cones. 



Loc. — Shale above the Low-Main Seam, Felling. (H. C. 44). 



49. On this slab are portions of nine or ten very long cones 



lying nearly parallel to each other. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Low-Main Seam, Felling. (H. C. 53).
