Kidston suggested miglit be those of Zeugopliyllites. They are certainly like those of 
Z. elongatus, Morris, but it seems to me that their length is too great in proportion^ to 
their width, and the margins too parallel for a leaf possessing the somewhat tapering 
outline of the species named. The leaves are striated faintly, and associated with 
TUnnfeUia odontopteroides, and Tmiiopteris. These leaves are, I think, much more 
likelv to be those of Podozamites, leaving out of question the relation of the latter and 
Zeugophyllites.

Sp. Char. Leaves long linear, gradually narrowed towards the apex, tw’enty- 
five millimetres wide, leaflets densely crowded, oblique, alternating, inserted on the 
rachis with contiguous bases, ovate, oblong, obtuse, base siibcordate, fourteen millimetres 
long, eight broad; nerves close, diverging. (^Ten. JVbods.) ^

that from the Lias of Wurtemborg. ^ . , , nr- • i

Sp. Char. Pinnm probably long and narrow; pinnules small, narrow, quite 
parallel-sided, alternate, or sub-alternate, decurrent, attached by their whole bases, 
generally distinct from one another, but sometimes slightly confluent, not constricted 
at the base ; apices broadly rounded and not in any way acuminated ; veins distinct, 
a^bout ten at the basal end of pinnules, each bifurcating at about half the length of the 
leaflet, direct, not converging tow'ards the apex ; rachis not veiy broad, distinct, and 
longitudinally striate. 
Ohs. A few examples of this plant have come under my notice, but all presenting 
similar characters. Strictly speaking, the dichotomy of the veins would remove the 
species from Pterophyllum, inhere they are always described as simple. On the other 
kand, in those genera in which the simplicity of the venation is lost, the pinnules are either 
inserted on the rachis by a callosity, as in Zamites ; with an articulated base, as in 
Otozamites; by an attenuated and articulated base like Podozamites; or partially united, 
as in Piilophyllum. In the present case the pinnules are most certainly decurrent, and 
for that reason I prefer to provisionally retain the plant in Pterophyllum. 
In the form of the pinnules and their separation from one another, there is a 
general resemblance to Pterophyllum Falconcrianum, Morris,* but the fronds of this 
apecies are larger, and the veins simple. /rr. « « ^
