XVI, fig. 186) drew only a portion of hia type specimen, and from the drawings it would indeed be im- possible to separate the plant from that illustrated in fig. 184 {S. marginata). In the actual specimens, however, both the form of the pinnules and the venation differ sufficiently to !)cparate the two on reliable grounds. The type specimen is No. 3315 in the McGill University collection, and is labelled as "Type" in Dawson's own writing. This is photographed in the present work, pi. X, fig. 24. An enlargement of some pinnules, showing their minutely toothed margin and the character of their veins, is given in text fig. Kic. 4. Oligoearpia spli'OtJpiM. I>an'!«uu, sp.

Comparison of these illustrations with the figures published by Stur (1885) and Zeiller (1886) will render it evident that the Canadian plant is the same species. M. Zeiller on seeing the original specimen expressed himself as being in no doubt as to the identity of Dawson's type and the European form described bv himself from Please note that thes
