This frond was obtained at "Wansford, in Northamptonshire, by 

 C. "W. Peach. The rachis has a length of 27 cm., and the pinnse, 

 which are attached to the axis at right angles, have an average 

 length of 4 cm. and a breadth of from 2 to 3 mm. In some of 

 the pinnae there appear to be indications of a midrib, but the 

 preservation is not sufficiently good to enable one to state con- 

 fidently that the frond is a true Cycadites.
