408 MR ROBERT KIDSTON ON THE FOSSIL PLANTS IN THE 



sp. Though not yet quite certain as to the true characters of the plant which was 

 named Splienopteris multijida by Lindley and Hutton. I believe that the fragments 

 here recorded under this name are referable to that species ; and if I am correct in this 

 supposition, Splienopteris multijida, L. & H., cannot be united with Urnatopteris tenella, 

 Brongt., sp.
