5. Otozamites parallelus, PHllips. 



6. Otozam.ites obtusus (L. & H.), var. ooliticus, mihi. 



7. Otozamites reistm.anteli, Zigno. 



An account of the history of this genus was given in the second 

 -volume of the Wealden Flora} We have no evidence as to the 

 nature of the reproductive organs of Otozamites, but it may be 

 safely regarded as a Cycadean plant bearing a closer resemblance 

 to ferns in the form and venation of the pinnules than is the 

 ■case with the majority of recent species of the Cycadacese.
