Mr Lambe has described this as a lobate or subdendroid species from 

 the "Lower Helderberg" at I'Anse au Gascon on the Bay of Chaleur, 

 Specimens from Cape Rosier Cove are in apparent agreement both in form 

 and internal structure.

The specimen here illustrated from Cape Rosier Cove has been referred 

 for examination to Mr David White of Washington, who has made this 

 commentary thereupon, 



" I am far from satisfied as to its systematic position. The suggestion 

 of a direct genetic relation to Lepidodendron afforded by the carbonaceous 

 residue of the axis and the position of the appendages is not sustained I 

 believe by a close inspection under the lens. On the contrary I would urge 

 a comparison of the algoid types represented in Plumalina, Bythograptus, 

 Chaetomorpha, etc. At the low stage at which this fossil is found we must 

 watch for the genesis of Lepidodendron from thickened (protoxylum ele- 

 ments) axes bearing broad based delicate leaves probably spirally developed 

 from alternation in verticils. In this case the specimen, possibly on account 

 of its preservation, will not warrant a reference to the Lepidodendroid 

 group. It appears to be a more primitive and simpler type than Lepid- 

 odendron gaspianum, though I suspect that specimens of this kind 

 are on record under the latter name." 



Spirophyton 



A form of this fucoid (?) similar to the S. cauda-galli Vanuxem, 

 occurs at Cape Rosier Cove.
