identifiesas Lepidophloios laricinus.

a ravine, the following measurement was made :

A specimen of Sigdlaria or Lepidophloios was seen in the top por- 
tion of the coal. 
About 12 kilometers south-west from the town of S. Sepé, this same 
coal was once mined in a small way to furnish steam power for gold 
mining in Serrito do Ouro, with reported fair results. 
South-westward from S. Sepé, no more explorations have been 
made for coal until in the vicinity of Suspiro, 547.57 Iilometers south- 
west from the railway slation, what appears to be the S. Jeronymo 
coal has been exploited on the fazenda of Sr. Antonio Vaz.
