Indurated shale, Proprietary Mine, Coal Creek.—Nos. 775-796. 
Rhizomopteris Etheridgei, Seward. This important and interesting 
series of specimens contains evidence of the actual relationship^of the plant 
remains hitherto referred to as Taeniopteris and Rhizomopteris respectively 
{see Appendix). One of the specimens shows the rhizoma with the basal 
portions of fronds of Taeniopteris of the varietal form, Daintreei, crushed 
in various positions along the creeping stem (778). In other examples (as 
in 775 figd.), numerous leaves of T aeniopteris occur flattened out and lying 
across the rhizomes. There are also numerous seed-like bodies, or possibly 
root-nodules, measuring about 2 mm. in diameter, lying pressed against these 
creeping stems (shown particularly in 783). No. 779, a stout stem, with 
bases of attachment of the frond petiole, No. 782 (figd.), a rhizome showing 
part of a single vascular bundle, silicified, and standing out from the 
matrix. Stems with siliceous casts of vascular tissue, 784, 792. Rhi¬ 
zomes with large petiolar scars, 789, 790, 795, 796 (figd). A petiole 
attached to a rhizome, showing the crescentic form of the area, 785.
