lb. Catharinaea undulata variety allegheniensis New Variety. 



(Plate XXVI) 

 Similar to the species in general habit and appearance but 

 usually somewhat smaller and more slender: the lamellae 

 5-7 in number, usually 6, ranging from 4-7, usually. 6, cells in 

 height, the costa and lamellae together occupying from one- 

 sixth to one-third of the width of the upper part of the leaf; 

 the upper leaf-cells about .016-.018 mm. in diameter. 



This variety is much more abundant in the Pittsburgh 

 district than is the species, evidently preferring habitats with 

 shales and sandstones such as those of the Carboniferous.
