207. — Lepidodendron acerosum, L. et H. 



Portion of branch and leaves ; the leaf-scars on the branch 

 are lozenge-shape or rhomboidal, and borne on small elevated 

 cushions. The leaves are long, gradually tapering to a point, 

 and with a single midrib. On the slab the leaves are ar- 

 ranged as if radiating from a stem. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Bensham Seam, Jarrow. (H.C. 326). 



208. Portion of small branch, which divides into two branch- 

 lets ; the one to the left bare, the other with long leaves 

 attached to the end. The surface of the branches covered 

 with small elevated cushions, terminating with rhomboidal 

 shaped leaf-scars. The leaves are long, narrow-pointed, and 

 with a central midrib, and form a brush-like termination to 

 the branch, as in Hutton's figures. No one ought to doubt 

 the identity of these brauchlets with the small branch figured 

 as Halonia gracilis, Foss. Flora, pi. 86, even though no lateral 

 cone?-scars are seen. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Bensham Seam, Jarrow. (H.C. 330). 



209. A few long narrow leaves, radiating from obscure frag- 

 ments of stem and leaf-scars ; the disarranged parts of a 

 small stem. There are several fragments of a small bivalve 

 shell, Anthracosia, on the same surface, shewing the sub- 

 merged position of these fragments before fossilization. 

 Loc. — Shale above the Bensham Seam, Jarrow. (HC. 327). 



210. Small portion of compressed stem, with the leaf-cushions 



and scars obscurely indicated ; but no one could doubt that 

 this stem is identically the same species as the one figured in 

 the Foss. Flora, L. acerosum, Plate 7, f. 1. 

 Loc— Shale above the Bensham Seam, Jarrow. {H.C. 412). 



211.— Lepidostrobus pinaster, L. et H. Type specimen, F.F., pi. 198. 

 This is a small portion of a branch of Lepidophloios laricinus, 

 Sternb. The leaves represented on the sides of the branch in
