W. M. Fontaine— Conghmeraie Series of West Virginia. 383 



narrowed toward the base, giving it an oblaneeolate shape. 

 Near the extremity, it is rapidly narrowed to an acute point. 

 It is most probably a new species, and if so, might receive the 

 specific name Seweilensis. 



23. Sphenopteris ohtusiloba Brongt. Found rarely at Sewell 

 Station, with coal No. 9. 



24. Palceopieris Jacksoni Schimp. Cyclopieris Jacksoni Daws. 

 Only one or two small fragments of this plant, were found at 

 Sewell Station with coal 9. 



25. Sphenophyllum antiquum Daws. A small fragment only 

 was found at Sewell Station with coal 9.

Quinnimont, where with the variety of Alethopteris grandifolia, 

 it forms the most abundant plant. Some pinnales show an 

 obscure lobing not unlike some of the pinnules of iSphenopteris 

 Lesquereuxii. Some scattered broad pinnules, with undulating 

 borders, were found here which, from their appearance, would 

 seem to have belonged to some part of this plant. 



27. Cdamites approximatus Schloth. Found at Sewell Sta- 

 tion, with coal No. 9. 



The plants above named, with the exception of the few got 

 from Sewell Station previously, and mentioned in my former 

 paper, were all obtained in my last visit to the New Kiver re- 

 gion. As I stated before, this list can by no means be taken 

 as exhaustive of the plants, even at the locality where they were 

 gathered. In no case could 1 spend more than a couple of hours 

 in collecting, and, having no tools, my collection was made by 

 picking up fragments fallen from the disintegrated outcrop. 

 This was the case with the coal on the Ealeigh road, which fur- 

 nished so many of the above specimens. 



The following fossils were obtained from near the top of No. 

 1 of the transition beds at Quinnimont and consequently just 

 from the base of the conglomerate series. They were kindly 

 determined for me by Dr. J. J. Stevenson. He states that in 

 most cases they were too badl}' preserved for specific determi- 

 nation.
