Description of the Specimens. -The imperfect specimen seen on Plate VII, fig. 1, 
enlarged f, shows a fairly broad axis with several narrow leaves, four of which at least 
are attached. The leaves appear to be opposite or subopposite, and somewhat contracted 
at the base. All are imperfect, but their length exceeds 3-5 cm. The breadth is about 
5 mm., and the nerves are close and parallel, about 8 or more in number. 
Another specimen in the British Museum collection is shown, natural size, on 
Plate VII, fig. 2. The axis here is less stout, being 2-5 mm. across. Three leaves are 
attached, which exceed V5 cm. in length, and are 5-5 mm. broad. The attachment 
here appears to be spiral. The nerves are more than 8 in number in each leaf. 
Remarks. —In the stout axis and the subopposite insertion of the leaves, the larger 
of these specimens may be compared to members of the genus Nageiopsis Font. In 
other respects the habit is very similar to Podozamites lanceolatus (L. & H.)^ 
It is doubtful whether either specimen is sufficiently perfect to admit of specific 
determination. In referring them provisionally to N. longifolia (Font.), I at the same 
time admit the possibility that they may stand nearer to Fontaine’s N. angustifolia{\). 
There is also some similarity to Fontaine’s(2) Podozamites Emmonsi, which also has a 
broad axis, though here the leaves are spirally arranged. 
Occurrence. —-Waikato Heads, Auckland (Neocomian).

Diagnosis. —The following are the characters of this species, as given by Seward(4) : 
“ Vegetative shoots monopodially branched, bearing crowded, spirally disposed, fleshy 
leaves. The leaves vary in shape and position ; they are usually broadly triangular, 
sometimes reaching a length of 5 mm., imbricate and fairly closely appressed to the stem ; 
in some shoots they are more open in arrangement and more distinctly falcate. The 
back of the leaves bears a broad median keel, and the lamina is frequently characterized 
by numerous longitudinal striations or wrinklings ; the apex of the leaf may be obtuse 
or acuminate.” 
Description of the Specimens. —The specimen figured by Hector in 1886 (see above) is 
refigured on Plate XIII, fig. 1. Its greatest length is 7-5 cm. Four branches are seen,
