Cardiocarpum Jluitans, npcc. nov. (Fig. 173, I). Oval; apex entire or notched; surface slightly rugose; nucleus round ovate, acuminate, pitted on the surface, with a raised mesial line. M. C, Joggins (J. W. D.). 2. C. bisectum, spec. nov. (Fig. 173, K). Nucleus as in the last species, but striate; margin widely notched at apex, and more nar- rowly notched below. M.

These Cardiocarpa are excessively abundant in the roofs of some coal seams; and the typical ones must have been samaras or winged nutlets. They must have belonged to phajnogamous plants, and certainly are not the fruits of Lepidodendron, though some of the spore-cases of this genus have been described as Cardiocarpa. These I propose to place under the provisional genus Sporangites. Sporanqites, Dawson. 1. Sporangites papillata, spec. nov. (Fig. 173, L). I propose the provisional generic name of Sporangites for spores or spore-cases of Lepidodendron, Catamites, and similar plants, not referred to the species to which they belong. The present species is round, about one inch in diameter, and covered with minute raised papillae or spines. It abounds in the roof of several of the shaly coals in the Joggins section, and especially in one in group 19 of that section. M. C, Joggins
