stown in V. 2812, and here, too, portions of petioles occur attached 

 to the main axis ; the piece of frond represented in the figure cannot 

 he traced to the rhizome, hut the petiole agrees exactly with such 

 hasal portions as are actually attached; there can, therefore, he 

 little or no doubt as to the connection between the rhizome and 

 this frond fragment. The thin and flexuous petioles agree 

 closely with those seen in PI. V. Tig. 3b (V. 2156) and other 

 specimens. Eccleshourne. Rufford Coll. 



v. 1069. Breadth of the segments much the same as in PI. V. 

 Pig. 3. Fear Hastings. Presented iy P. Rufford, Esq., 1885. 



V. 2152. Very similar to V. 1069, but less complete. Eccles- 

 bourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2155^ and V. 21bbd. There is a very close agreement between 

 these two fragments and Bunker's figures of Sphenopteris Oopperti 

 in his "Wealdenhildung, PI. IX. Pig. 1. Cf. also PI. V. Pig. 3a 

 (V. 2156). 



V. 2155«. A badly preserved specimen. Cf. PI. V. Pig. 3b. 

 Eccleshourne. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2157fl. Of the same type as PI. Y. Pig. 3a (V. 2156), but 

 somewhat smaller. Ecclesboume. Rufford Coll. 



V. 2167. Practically identical with V. 2351. In this specimen 

 and several others there are closely associated fragments of pinnae, 

 of which the ultimate segments show a marked variation in size ; 

 also portions of fertile fronds. Eccleshourne. Rvfford Coll. 



"V. 2192. One fertile pinna and a portion of a second. The 

 individual sporangia are seen on some of the pinnules. This 

 specimen agrees in all points with PI. III. Pig. 6 (V. 2295) and 

 Pi. III. Pig. 6 (V. 2731). Cf. also PI. Y. Pig. 3a (V. 2156) and 

 PL Y. Pig. 5 (V. 2160). Eccleshourne. Rufford Coll. 



v. 2228. Badly preserved fragments of pinnae with narrow 

 ultimate segments. Cf. V. 2157, PI. lY. Eccleshourne. 



Rufford Coll. 



V. 2341. The same as V. 2731. On the same rock is a fragment 

 of Aerostichites Ruffordi, sp. nov. Eccleshourne. Rufford Coll.
