Abstract
HYABE and S. Endò (Sci. Rep. Tôhoku Uni., Sendai, Geology, Vol. 5, p. 93, 1921) have re-examined the specimen believed to be a Sigillarian stem, found in Suruga Province by K. Fujii in 1915. While they suspend judgment on this specimen, they are now able to record the discovery of stems of Calamites by S. Makabe in the province of Iwami. These are the first Palæozoic land-plants recorded from insular Japan. The Carboniferous beds with which they are associated are marine, and it seems unlikely that any considerable flora will be unearthed comparable to that known from the adjacent continent.
