Fig. 2. One of the horseshoe-shaped bodies, showing vascular scalariform structure 

 on its outside margin. Magnified 3-| diameters. 



Fig. 3. The other. Magnified 3^ diameters. 



Fig. 4 (No. 33). Sigillaria vascularis. A transverse section of the stem, showing 

 two woody cylinders, with an apple-shape section, cut across at a point before the stem 

 began to dichotomize. From the Bullion seam of Coal at Spa Clough, .near Burnley. 

 Magnified 3^ diameters. 



Fig. .3. Section of one of the central bodies, showing large detached (scalariform) 

 vessels in fine orthosenchyraatous tissue in the middle, and a woody cylinder of (scalari- 

 form) tubes or utricles, gradually diminishing in size as it goes outwards towards a 

 radiating cyHnder of barred tubes in wedge-shaped masses. Magnified 10 diameters. 



Fig. 6. The other. Magnified 10 diameters.
