Saxony 

 The Neocomian sandstones of Langenberg, near Quedlinburg. of Wester- 

 hausen, etc., in Saxony, formerly considered of Quader age, have fur- 

 nished a considerable flora, Stiehler ^ having described three species from 

 this region as long ago as 1858. Scliulze,* in 1888, added considerably 

 to the list of plants, and more recently Eichter ^ has been elaborating this 

 flora in a most carefnl manner. He follows von Koenen in correlating 

 the Wealden with the Berriasian below the ammonite zones of the Valan- 

 ginian and Hauterivian. A partially revised list of the recorded species 

 is as follows: 



Alethopteris oycadina Schenk 



Alethopteris revoluta Schenk 



Baiera miinsteriana (Presl) Heer (obviously an incorrect identification of 



* this Rhsetic species) 

 Cylindrites spongioides Goeppert 

 Gleichenia cf. giesekiana Heer 

 Gleichenia longipennis Heer 

 Gleichenia cf. rotula Heer 

 Glossozamites Schenkii Heer 

 Hausmannia dichotoma Dunker 

 Hausmannia gracilliTna Richter 

 Hausmannia Kohlmanni Richter 

 Hausmannia Hewardi Richter
