An obscure specimen (V. 2423), which may represent a fragment of a Lepidodendroid plant (? Botlirodendron), was found in a boulder from the Prince Albert Eange, possibly from the Witteberg. The Museum Collection also includes similar fragments from Lower Albany (V. 240), which may be of Devonian ; In addition to these fragments there are two imperfectly preserved sandstone casts obtained by Mr. Draper from Zwartkoppies, Vredefort, in the Orange Eiver Colony, which are no doubt partially decorticated stems of some Lepidodendroid plant. It is possible that the specimen represented in text-figure 8 and that from the Prince Albert Eange may be of Devonian age. In this connection it may be mentioned that a small specimen from Witteberg included in the collection recently sent to me (No. 53a) is in all probability a fragment of a Lepidodendroid stem. * An example of a Lepidodendroid plant of 1897, p. 313. referred to by Mr. Draper in his paper.
