The peduncles are seen to bend downward, owing to the weight of the cone. The internal structure is as yet unknown. 1 may have had fragments of the trunk and branches of this species in my collections for many years without being able to distinguish them, and indeed the smaller branches and peduncles would by most colloctore be placed with Lepidodendron, while fragments of the old stems and branches in the Halonia condition, would scarcely be distinguishable from corresponding portions of L.

It first became known to me us a distinct species in the summer of 1876, when I made a short excursion along the northern part of New Brunswick, and spent a day in New Bandon at the Clifton sandstone quarries and the shore in that vicinity, to which I was attracted by the fact that Sir William Logan had several years previously collected, in a bed of shale under the sandstone quarried for grindstones, some well- preserved ferns, Sphenophylla, and other plants wlii'>.h I had described in " Acadian Geology" in 1868.'
