404 MR ROBERT KIDSTON ON THE FOSSIL FLORA OF THE 



Museum. It is slightly larger than Lindley and Hutton's figure, but I think 

 maybe referred to their species. 

 Locality : — Cam er ton.

 Carpolithes multistriatus, Sternh., Vers., ii. pi. xxxix. fig. 1, 2. 



Description. — Seed 35 cm. long and 21 cm. broad; exposed surface, bear- 

 ing about eight longitudinal ridges, on and between which run fine parallel 

 striae. 



Remarks. — In size this specimen is somewhat smaller than that figured in 

 Sternberg ; otherwise there is no apparent difference. The presence of the 

 fine longitudinal striae on the Radstock specimen may be due to better pre- 

 servation. 



The relationship of several described species of Rhabdocarpi to Rhabdo- 

 carpus multistriatus is difficult to determine. These are referred to in my 

 Catalogue of Paleozoic Plants. 



Locality : — Radstock.
