A. pinnulis ohovatis suhtrapeziformihus, margine superiore sinuatis, nervatione Cyclo-

Small Adiantoid pinnae had been met with among the interlaced fronds and stems of 
Gleiclienia at Bournemouth (see p. 44), to which we considered they might have belonged, 
but, as similar pinnae have since been found unassociated with Gleichenia and preserving 
distinct remains of sori, there is no longer any doubt that a species of Maidenhair, not 
much larger than Adiantum capillus -Veneris, formed part of our Middle-Eocene flora. 
As we see no reason to consider them distinct specifically from those found by Count 
Saporta at Sezanne, which only seem to differ in the absence of sori, we have placed 
them, with his concurrence, in that species. The segments seem to be dimidiate, as the 
line of fruit is only present on one side. This species differs strikingly from the group 
of A. capillus- Veneris in the linear, instead of obversely reniform, arrangement of the 
sori. 
Detached segments are occasionally met with among dicotyledonous leaves in beds 
west of Bournemouth Pier.

H.fronde membranacea sim^Mci irregulariter inciso-lobata, subrotunda, longe petiolafa, 
basi subtruncata, lobis lanceolatis integerrimis, undulatis vel sublobatis, margine soriferis, 
soris confluentibus ; nervatione Dictyopteridis simplicis, nervis tenuissimis, macuKs 
angustis lanceolatis. 
Middle Bagshot, Bournemouth. 
The palmate form, rectangular base, and long stipes show the specimen figured 
(PI. XI, fig. 1) to have been an entire frond, and not a large terminal pinna. So much 
of the frond is preserved that little is left to the imagination in restoring it. It was 
nearly equal-sided, palmate, somewhat irregular in form, bluntly six-lobed more than 
half-way down, each lobe being again once subdivided. It measured six inches
