Guilielmites orbicularis Fontaine & I. C. White. Second Geol. Surv. Pa., Rept. Progr. PP, 1880, p. 99, pl. xxxii, fig. 2. [Dunkard formation (Permian).] The fossil described under the above name is possibly a Dolerophyllum.

Palaeoxyris appendiculata Lesquereux. Geol. Surv. Illinois, vol. 4, Geol. & Pal., pt. 2, 1870, p. 546, pl. xxvii, fig. 11. D. White: Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 11, 1900, p. 169. [Pottsville group; Kanawha formation.] The species of this genus, though described as plants, are thought by many to be egg-capsules of a fossil shark or allied type of animal life. There is, at all events, little doubt that they are the envelopes of some type of fructification.
