Sey- eral species have been described, and they are eminently characteris- tic of the Lower Eri- an, in which they were first discovered in Gasp6. The typ- ical species, Fsilophy- ton princeps, which fills many beds of shale and sandstone in Gas- p6 Bay and the head of the neighbouring Bay des Chaleurs with its slender stems and creeping, cord-like rhi- zomes, may be thus de- scribed : Stems branching * "Journal of the Geological Society," vols, xv., xviii., and six., "Ke- port on Devonian Plants of Canada," Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Dawson, John William, Sir, 1820-1899.
