VICTORIA MEMORIAL MUSEUM. BULLETIN NO. I 
kindness of Professor F. D. Adams I had an opportunity of 
examining it. The blades are much narrower and more acute 
and probably longer than those of L. mintdemis, though the cones 
are nearly the same size. The sporangiophores are not shown 
clearly, but the two cones seem to be distinct. 
The essential char§cters of Lepidostrobus mintoensis are: — 
Scales large, sporangiophore triangular, about three-fourths the 
size of the blade; keeled, with a low ridge on each side; blade 
broadly triangular, sharply pointed, basal angles rounded, 
lateral borders slightly concave. Locality: Minto, Sunbury 
county, New Brunswick. Middle coal formation. (Upper 
Pottsville). 
I am indebted to Mr. W. B. Evans, manager of the Roth well 
Coal Company, who kindly sent me specimen No. 7544, fig. 3; 
and to Dr. David White for figures of two of the species referred 
to in the text, and for valuable advice and suggestions as to 
the relation of the species.
