seed from the Karharbari, described and illustrated by Feistmantel (4) 
as Samaropsis, and that from the Transvaal illustrated and described 
by Seward (2) as Cardiocarpus sp, deserve mention. In form the 
nuclei are similar to those of the Cardiocarpon described by Zeiller (3) 
from the Barakar grovp, though the impression of the sarcotest is 
very different. 
Cardiocarpon Barcellosuim is most closely allied to some of the 
broadly alate and elongated spacies in the Northern Permo-Carboni- 
ferous. It stands particularly close to the Cardiocarpon annulatum 
of Newberry (4) from the upper Pottsville (Westphalian) of Ohio, and 
Cardiocarpon pachytestun of Lesquereux (5) from beds of the same 
age in the Northern Anthracite field of Pennsylvania. The close rela- 
tionship belween these Northern and Southern seeds certainly indicates 
a similarly close relation between types that bore them, in whatever 
genera the latter may now rest. 
Cardiocarpon Barcellosun is named in honor of Dr. Ramiro Bar- 
cellos, the distinguished Senator from the State of Rio Grande do Sul 
who has done so much to make known the coal and other mineral 
resources of South Brazil. 
Locality :— roof of the Irapud coal, west of the house of Doctor 
Barcellos, near Rio Irapud, Rio Grande do Sul. About 135 meters 
helow the Iraty black shale. Lot 3591.
