portions of five leaflets. They vary much in form and size, most of those on the right 
side being oblong, and with obtuse apices, whilst those on the other are much more 
elongate in proportion to their breadth. The pinnules seem to have been coriaceous, 
and the veins are numerous, fine, and parallel. The average length of the shorter leaflets 
is under an inch, the others reaching as much as one and a quarter inches, and imperfect. 
The only fossil plant, with which I am acquainted, bearing any resemblance to 
this is the Zamites MeneqMni, Zigno,* from the Italian Oolite rooks.

PonozAMiTES, sp. ind. 
Ohs. Several fragments, probably referable to this genus, are in iny Colleague’s 
Collection, but as the naming of mere portions of leaves, unless exceedingly well marked, 
leads to no good end, I shall content myself by calling attention to the figures, hoping 
that more complete specimens may eventually be discovered. 
PI. 18, f. 4. Three nearly equidistant pinnules are here represented, bearing 
five sub-parallel veins, and terminating in a sub-acute apex. The general appearance 
of these leaves, and the bi-convex edges, giving rise to a rather transversely elongated 
ellipsoidal figure, seem to indicate the above genus. The form of the leaflet appears to 
be quite distinct from that of P. lanceolatiis, L. and H.

. Otozamiies, ? sp. ind., PI. 17, fig. 8. 
Ohs. This fragment would appear to indicate a species of Otozaniites, differ- 
ieg from O. Mandeslohi, in its much larger, fuller, and more pyriform pinnules. A 
larger pinnule lying near the figured example has an excavate base, which heightens 
the resemblance to this genus. The veins were probably distinct and well marked, and 
under twenty in number. It may be compared to Otozamiies Beanii, Bindley and Hutton,t 
from the Yorkshire Oolites, or O. Canossm, Zigno, J from beds of similar age in Italy.
