98 DR ROBERT KIDSTON ON THE 



generally tends to obscure the form of the other, and the general appearance of the 

 pinrme is as if the stem bore small bramble-like fruits, the " pips" being the impressions 

 of the apices of the sporangia in the matrix, as seen at fig. 4, PI. X., which is enlarged 

 2 times. 



Possibly in Coseleya glomerata we see the microsporangia of a pteridosperm, but 

 it is impossible from the meagre data at present at our disposal to form any definite 

 opinion of the affinities of Coseleya. 



The genus name is derived from Coseley, near Dudley, where in the past so many 

 fine specimens have been obtained. 



All the specimens of Coseleya glomerata which I have seen were collected by 

 Mr H. W. Hughes, but it is evidently a rare fossil.
