Remarks. It is very difficult to decide as to the species with which 

 Brongniart's Catamites undulatus (Sternberg), Brongt. (Hist. d. V6get. Foss. 

 p. 127, pi. xvii. figs. 1-4), should be united. As the flexuous character of the 

 furrows has been imparted "by pressure, any species of Calarnite may, from the 

 same cause, have the furrows bent in a flexuous manner. Some authors have 

 united these figures with Catamites cannceformis, others with C. Suckowii, but 

 the evidence afforded by them is too imperfect for a satisfactory decision on 

 this point. 



The specimen figured by Roehl as Catamites cannceformis^ appears to 

 belong to C. Suckowii. 



Cr6pinJ has pointed out that the furrows on the stems of Catamites 

 Suckowii and C. Cistii do not always alternate at the nodes, but occasionally 

 run continously from one internode to another, as in Bornia radiata.
