branches from the Keuper of Germany which he named C. dubius : 

 this species is identified by Saporta 1 with Palissya Braunii, but 

 the latter name is now restricted to shoots bearing a particular 

 form of strobilus. Nathorst 2 , on the other hand, suggests that 

 C. dubius may belong to Elatides, and the same author instituted 

 a new generic name Camptophyllum 3 for fragmentary foliage-shoots

from the Rhaetic of Scania which he named C. Schimperi (fig. 

 804, B) : these bear a close resemblance to C. elegans ; the linear- 

 lanceolate leaves are 15 20 mm. long and the lamina is recurved, 

 probably as the result of drying. It is impossible to determine 

 the position of this type and it may conveniently be transferred 

 to Elatocladus. Some of Nathorst' s specimens are also figured by 

 Schenk 4 . The name Cunningha mites is given by Oldham and
