Remarks. The type of Asterophyllites foliosa, L. and H., is preserved in the 

 Hutton Collection, Newcastle-on-Tyne. I have examined this specimen, 

 and cannot discover any character by which it can be distinguished from 

 Annularia radiata, Brongt. sp. It is a plant of frequent occurrence in the 

 Scotch Coal Fields, so I have had many opportunities of examining specimens 

 of this species. 



Asterophyllites galioides, L. and H., is probably only a small branchlet of 

 their A . foliosa. 



Notwithstanding the slight differences pointed out by Weiss between his 

 Atterophyllites radiiformis and Annularia (Asterophyllites) radiata, Brongt. 

 sp., I am inclined to regard his plant as referable to Brongniart's species. 



Annularia longifolia, Lesqx. (in part), (Coal Flora in Pennsyl. pi. 2, fig. 1), 

 is also, I think, referable to Annularia radiata. 



Schimper unites here Hydatica prostrata, Artis, and Hydatica columnaris, 

 Artis. These are the Pinnularia capillacea, L. and H., and well-known to 

 be roots ; similar fossils have been found attached to Calamite stems as 

 their rootlets ; but it is more than probable that the so-called Pinnularia are 

 the rootlets of several plants, hence we are scarcely warranted in uniting 

 them with Annularia radiata, though in all likelihood this plant had rootlets 

 similar in character to Pinnularia.
