figure by Goeppert (Fossil Flora der Perm. Form., p. 12, 
figs. 1, 2) are very similar to the smaller pinnules of this 
species. 
The great length and nearly parallel borders of some pin- 
nules of this species, the character of the lateal veins and espe- 
cially the unusually strong and striated midrib or rachis, give 
the species a striking teeniopterid appearance (cf., fig. 1, pl. 
LXIII). But the general habit of the plant is neuropterid. 
The large, broad, and apparently cyclopterid pinnule of plate 
LXIII, figure 4, and the cordate base, appear to bear out the 
reference of the species to Neuropteris rather than to Txniop- 
teris. It is, however, very different from any known Neu- 
ropteris, and especially from any of the Coal Measures forms. 
Formation and locality: Wellington shales, Banner City, 
Dickinson county; Chase formation, Washington. 
Neuropteris ovata Hofim. 
N. ovata occurs abundantly at a locality near Washington, 
Kan. The pinnules are often very large and coarse as com- 
pared with the species in its earlier phases. 
Neuropteris scheuchzeri Hoffm. 
N. scheuchzeri occurs at Washington. It is, however, not 
common at that locality. 
Neuropteris desorii Lesqx. 
Several specimens of N. desorii are recognized among the 
collections from Washington. 
Odontopteris BRONGNIART. 
Odontopteris reichiana Gutb. Pl. LXII, figs. 14-16; pl. LXIII, fig. 5. 
Fronds large, forked below. Each division pinnate with the 
pinnz pinnatifid; divisions large, strong, with robust rigid 
rachises, 1 cm. wide; ultimate pinne linear, oblique, alternate, 
elose, 2 to 3 cm. apart, sometimes overlapping, 6 to 15 cm. 
long; the first on the inside above the dichotomy of the main 
rachis, much reduced, 2 cm. long, consisting simply of one 
small lateral pinnule on each side, and a large elongate-ovate 
terminal pinnule, 18 mm. long, 6 mm. wide. Pinnules small, 
close, but distinct or slightly connate, becoming near the apex 
contiguous or overlapping, elongate-ovate, open or inclined 
forward, with lower border rounded and upper straight or 
rearly so, and apex pointed forward, 6 to 10 mm. long, 3 to 6
