Lepidostrobus kentuckiensis, nomen nov., formerly Lepidostrobus 

 Fischeri, Scott and Jeffrey : a Correction. 

 By D. H. Soott, For. Sec, E.S. 



(Received January 14, 1915.) 



In a paper by Prof. Jeffrey and myself, published in the ' Philosophical 

 Transactions ,' last year,* we described a new species of Lepidostrobus from the 

 Waverley Shale of Kentucky, under the name, Lepidostrobus Fischeri. My 

 friend, Prof. P. Zeiller of Paris, has now kindly pointed out to me that the 

 specific name Fischeri is not admissible, another fossil cone having been 

 described in 1890 by M. B. Penault, under the same name, Lepidostrobus 

 Fisrheri.f I am sorry to have overlooked this reference, an oversight for 

 which I am solely responsible. 



Our fossil must now receive a new name and it is unfortunate that it is no 

 longer possible to record in the specific designation the name of the 

 discoverer, Mr. Moritz Fischer. The name I now propose for our cone is 

 lepidostrobus kentvA-wnsis, after the State in which the plant-bearing deposit 

 occurs. The diagnosis is briefly repeated below.
