internode. The arrangement is similar to McCoy’s figure of Phyllotheca ramosa,* but 
there is even a greater resemblance to Feistmautel’s illustration of P. rolmsta f from the 
Lower Gondwanas.

Sp. Char. Hoots found in broad, finely striated masses, three or four inches 
long, with occasional transverse divisions half an inch or so across. {Ten. Woods.) 
Ohs. Mr. Woods states that three different kinds of roots can be distinguished. 
“ A broad striated stem, half an inch in diameter, with transverse divisions at 
irregular intervals.” 
“ A narrow cylindrical stem with parallel striations, and no diaphragmata.” 
“ Stems with a central longitudinal division and irregular transverse diaphrag- 
mata, which occasionally correspond at each side of the longitudinal line and occasionally 
do not.” 
These bodies are believed to be the rhizomes of Equisetum rofiferum. 
Loo. The Author says, “ I shall distinguish the Vertehraria common in the blue 
clay at the Walloon Mines as V. equiseti." Further on he adds, “ Found in grey clay 
below the coal in the Tivoli Mine.” The latter locality is confirmed by my Colleague. +

Sp. Char. Broad stems with deep or regular longitudinal grooves, but with 
slight transverse divisions, which are irregular, at long distances apart, or absent.

Ohs. The parallel lines are described as regular in some specimens, in others 
they curve, twist, and fold over one another. There is a general resemblance between 
these fossils and Vertehraria, but they are very dubious-looking plant-remains.
