312 J. W. Dawson on the Flora of the Devonian 
Robb, and Mr. Bennett of St. John; but they had not been fig- 
ured or described. These plants were described in the Cana- 
dian Naturalist, together with some additional species, of the 
same age, found at Perry, in the State of Maine, and pre 
served in the collection of the Natural History Society of Port 
land. The whole of the plants thus described, I summed up i 
the paper last mentioned as consisting of 21 species, belonging 
to 16 genera, exclusive of genera like Sternbergia and Lepidostr- 
bus, which represent parts of plants only. : 
In the past summer I visited St. John; and, in company with 
Messrs. Matthew and Hartt, explored the localities of the are 
aetpypes | discovered, and examined the large collections whic 
ad been formed by those gentlemen since the publication of my 
previous paper. The material thus obtained proving unexpech 
edly copious and interesting, I was desirous of having oppor 
nities of fuller comparison with the Devonian Flora of New ee 
te; and, on application to Prof. Hall, that gentleman, i 
consent of the Regents of the University of New York, a 4 
d to describe the new species. :
