COLLECTED IN ESKDALE AND LIDDESDALE, 349 
Paterson, is not the inflorescence of a monocotyledon, but the fructification of 
a calamitaceous plant. Since writing the short notice above mentioned, I have 
compared this specimen with the original type, and find that it is not specifically 
distinct from P. Grantonii (Paterson). 
The specimen was collected by Mr T. Stock, by whom it has been kindly 
submitted to me for examination. 
Position and Locality.—From the Cement-stone group of the Calciferous 
Sandstone series, Glencartholm, Eskdale.
