I have already described in my ‘Flora Arctica’ this species from Atanekerdluk. It is 
also found at Kudliset. Plate XLII. fig. 2 a represents a stout culm with knot, and 
fig. 2 b a fragment of a leaf. The numerous and equally strong longitudinal nerves are 
very distinct, while the slender secondary nerves are mostly obliterated. Fig. 2 c repre- 
sents a deeply striated, more slender culm, probably of the same species. Fig. 4 is a 
shortly articulated rhizome from Kudliset, fig. 3 a more slender portion of a culm. 
Plate XLIII. fig. 8 represents a portion of a very large culm from Atanekerdluk, 24 
millims. broad and 12 in diameter. The interior is filled with ironstone, the exterior 
striated. Fig. 9 are roots very much like those of Phragmites (Eningensis , which I 
figured in my FI. Tert. Helvet. i. pi. xxii. fig. 5. It therefore probably belongs to this 
species. 
18. Poaeites Mengeanus , Hr., Plate LV. figs. 9, 10. Foliis linearibus, 7-15 millims. latis, 
nervis fortioribus 8-15, interstitialibus 3-4, nervo medio ceteris paulo latiore. 
Hr. FI. Mioc. Baltica, p. 59, pi. xv. figs. 2-11. 
Several fragments of this species, which is not rare in the brown coal of the Baltic, 
are in a slab from Atanekerdluk. One specimen is 7 millims. broad (fig. 10 5), another 
13 millims. (fig. 9). The midrib is fiat, not much stronger than the longitudinal nerves, 
between which are 3-4 very slender and obsolete secondary nerves (fig. 10 c, magn.)

Plate LV. fig. 11. Transverse section of a spike. Several fruits surround an axis, 
each is 2 millims. long, oblong-oval, with a furrow near the margin ; beside the fruit are 
small scales, probably bracts. 
Similar to the Oyperites Forbesi, Hr. (“ On certain Fossil Plants from the Hempstead 
Beds of the Isle of Wight,” Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. 1862, p. 373, pi. xviii. figs. 20, 21.)

The fragment of a leaf, figured in Plate XLV. fig. 6 <z, from which I completed fig. 7, 
lies beside a leaf of Corylus M c Quarrii (fig. 6 5); it is rounded and emarginate at the 
base, gradually tapered and pointed towards the apex. Medial nerve a little stronger
