Obs. — -The above is undoubtedly a fragment of a Lepidodendroid 
plant ; the leaf scars are, however, somewhat strongly compressed and dis- 
figured ; but still their general outline can be made out, and in the upper 
part there can be distinctly seen a transversely rhomboidal cicatricula, with 
the lateral angles, however, turned down, joining the marginal line of the 
leaf scar. 
If we compare the present form with others already known we arrive 
at the conclusion that it agrees best with Lepidodendron Volkmannianum of 
the Lower Carboniferous formation in Europe. I refer especially to Mr. 
Dionys Stur’s work, amongst which, especially PI. XXIII, Eig. 3c, reminds 
us very much of our specimen. 
Locality and Horizon. — In the Lower Carboniferous beds at Smith’s 
Creek, Stroud, New South Wales.

Sp. Char. — Trunco arboreo dicliotomo, corticato ; pulvinulis foliorum 
delapsorum minutis, subglobosis vel deplanato circularibus, vert ice faveolatis 
teeto; impressione quorum circulari, an obovato circulari, profundiuscula, 
superna in parte tuberculo notata ; foliis linearibus, medio carinatis. 
Obs . — Amongst the Australian fossils there were various fragments of 
a Lepidodendroid plant, which, in their entire habit, agree with the characters 
of the above genus. 
Mr. Carruthers also mentions, amongst the plants which Mr. Clarke 
bad sent to the Geological Society of London, certain fragments which he 
could hardly distinguish from Cyclostigma kiltorkense, light.
