Remarks. — The right hand branch on Lindley and 

 Hutton's pi. XV, fig. 2 of the same plate, as well as their pi. 

 xvi, do not belong to C ramosns {=C. nwdosus L. and H.). 

 These figures which so long have done duty as the foliage 

 of this Calamite, have been found on more careful exami- 

 nation to be spikes of cones, whose position in regard to 

 the stem on pi. xv, fig. i is merely accidental. This sup- 

 posed foliage of Calamites ramosus is really a spike of cones 

 belonging to the genus Palceostachya. On the other hand 

 the fruit of Calamites ramosus has been described by Weiss 

 (I.e.), who has shown it to belong to the Calamostachys- 

 type of cone. The species is frequent in the Yorkshire 

 Coal Field, but many of the specimens examined had no 

 definite locality.
