and also I think with his R. paniculifera. Tis figure of the former species 
appears to be the lower part of a frond, that of the latter an upper part, very 
beautifully showing its mode of fructification. 
Among the Eskdale plants are two which exhibit a similar bifurcation of 
the main axis, as shown in his figure of A. paniculifera. 
Sphenopteris alciphylla, Phill.,* appears to have been a specimen of this 
plant, where the ground tissue of the pinnules has been destroyed and the veins 
only preserved. 
Position and Locality—A few specimens from the Cement-stone group of 
the Calciferous Sandstone series, Glencartholm, and Foot of Tarras Water, 
Eskdale.

Description.—Scars oval, somewhat less than the fifth of an inch long, and 
rather more than the tenth of an inch broad at their greatest diameter. They 
' stand about three-tenths of an inch apart, and are arranged in spiral series. 
The impression of the vascular bundle forms a narrow oval band, running
