Pcdceozoic Species mentioned in ''Fossil Flora." 353 



Remarhs. — Under tliis head almost certainly the cones of 

 several species are included. Y'v^. 2, pi. x., is most probably 

 my Lepidostrohiis spinosus,^ it being a])parently similar to the 

 cones figured by Brongniart as '' Lepidodrohusr ^ 



PI. xii. Lepidodendhon selaginoides. ' 

 Locality. — Felling Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 

 Horizon. — Lower Coal-Measures. Eoof of the Low Main 

 Coal. 



Remarks. — The type of this plate, which is fortunately 

 preserved, is a good specimen of Bothrodendron minuti- 

 FOLIUM, Boulay sp.^ The characteristic leaf-scars of the genus 

 BotliTodendroii are well shown on the fossil. The figure is 

 quite misleading. 



PI. xiii. Sphenophyllum erosum, L. and H. 



Locality. — Jarrow. 



Horizon. — Lower Coal-Measures. Shale above Bensham 

 Seam. 



Remarks. — This is the Sphenophyllum cuxEiFOLiUM,Sternb. 

 sp. The original specimen is in the " Hutton Collection." 



PL xiv. ASTEROPHYLLITES TUBERCULATA, L. and H. 



{not Sternb.). 



Locality. — Felling Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 



Horizon. — Lower Coal-Measures. Eoof of Low Main Coal. 



Remarks. — The types of this plate appear to be lost, but 

 the type of pi. clxxx. is still in the collection. From the 

 examination of this and other specimens, I believe the 

 Asterophyllites tuherculata, L. and H., to be specifically dis- 

 tinct from the Bruckmannia tuherculata, Sternb., of which 

 excellent figures have been given by Weiss * under the name 

 of Stachannularia tidterculata, Sternb. sp. Stachannidaria 

 tuhercidata is, however, now known to be the cone of 

 Anmdaria stellata, Schl. sp.
