* The occurrence of this plant in the Wealden series is doubtful. The specimen 

 so named by Maiitell was found by him in the shingle of Brook Bay. 



f Mr. Carruthers remarks in Dixon's Geology of Sussex, 2nd ed. p. 280, that " in 

 the Wealden at Brook Point, numerous cones of Cycadea occur. They are con- 

 verted into jet, and are largely charged with iron pyrites. . . . That they are 

 Cycadean fruits there can be no doubt ; but to what living genus they have relations, 

 or to what fossil stems or foliage the)"^ may belong, it is impossible to say, I 

 accordingly proposed for them the generic name Cycadeostrobus, by which 1 

 intended to convey nothing more than that they were Cycadean cones (Seeman's 

 Journ. Bot., v. p. b)." 



X This species is figured in Mantell's Isle of Wight Ed. 3, 1851, p. 223, under the 

 name cf C. valdensis, Fitt. from Brook Bay. But the figure was copied from Fitton 

 Fl. 21, fig. 1, which shows C. Austeni, and may have been wrongly used for the 

 specimens from Brook Bay. See Geol. Mag. for 1878, p. 277.
