Carboniferous strata in Silesia. Dionys Stur has shown that the above 
Sphenoptcris is to be placed with Rhacoptcris, and to this Rhacopteris 
lloemcri I refer the above figured specimen from Australia. It was sent to 
me by the late Hcv. IV. B. Clarke. 
Locality and Horizon . — In Lower Carboniferous beds, at Smith’s 
Creek, near Stroud, New South Wales. 
Rhacopteris septentrionalis, Feist mantel.

Ithacoptcris septentrionalis, Peistmantel, loc. cit., 1879, p. 147, PI. IV, f. 5. 
Sj). Char . — Eoliis pinnatis, rliachi linea longitudinali pereursa, pin- 
nulis suhalternis, breviter petiolatis, suberectis oblongis, rliacliim versus 
prof undo bilobatis, deliinc subflabelli formibus ; lob is forma subrhombeis, 
prof unde fissis, laciniis apice rotundatis ; nervatione indistincta, ut videtur 
dichotoma, ramis nervorum lacinias intrantibus. 
llachis as in II. intermedia ; pinnulae subalternate with short petiols, 
suberect, oblong, deeply lobed near the rachis, and thence subflabelliform ; 
lobes subrhomboid, deeply incised, segments rounded above ; venation indis- 
tinct, as it appears dichotomous, branches of veins entering the lobes. 
Ohs . — Resembles somewhat Rhacoptcris transition^, Stur, but is a 
more slender form altogether. 
Locality and Horizon . — In the Lower Carboniferous beds at Smith’s 
Creek, near Stroud, New South Wales.
