546 ROBERT KIDSTON ON FOSSIL PLANTS 
(Anthodiopsis Beinertiana, Gopp.), from the Permian of Bohemia and Silesia, 
but the specimens from Liddesdale are not sufficiently well preserved for satis- 
factory determination. 
The three figures given in Plate B. show the more characteristic forms. 
Schimper places this genus among the Coniferw@, but Géppert mentions that 
these fruits occur along with Neggerathie as well as with Walchia piniformis, 
Sternb. Their association, however, with these two plants he regards rather as 
accidental, than as throwing any light on their affinities. 
The plant originally described as Schutzia bracteata by LESQuEREUX, from 
the Carboniferous formation of the United States, is a totally different fossil, 
and has now been placed by its author in a new genus, Cordianthus, Lesq.* 
Position and Locality.—From the Cement-stone group of the Calciferous 
Sandstone series, Tweeden Burn, and Kershope Burn, Liddesdale. 
Description of Plants from Canonbie.

SPHENOPTERIDE. 
Sphenopteris multifida, L. & H. 
Sphenopteris multifida, L, & H., Fos. Flora, pl. exxiii. 
Locality. Byre Burn, Canonbie, Dumfriesshire. 
Only one specimen has been obtained. 
Sphenopteris obtusiloba ¢ Brongn. 
Sphenopteris oltusiloba, Brongn., Hist. d. végét. foss., tab. lili, fig. 2. 
Ps +5 Schimper, Puléont. végét., tab. xxx. fig, 1. 
Remarks.—One small specimen, though too imperfect for satisfactory 
determination, probably belongs to this species. 
Locality.—Byre Burn, Canonbie, Dumfriesshire. 
Sphenopteris, sp. 
Locality.—Byre Burn, Canonbie, Dumfriesshire. 
Staphylopteris, sp. 
Plate XX XI. fig. 5. 
Remarks.—Ouly two small stems of this Staphylopteris have been obtained,
