Remarks. — In a previous paper,* while recording this species from Lancashire, I 

 called attention to the error I made in uniting Bothrodendron with Sigillaria dis- 

 cophora, Konig, sp.t 



At PL II. fig. 6, is given a figure of a plant which was originally named Lycopodium 

 carbonaceum by Feistmantel. The same fossil has been figured more recently by 

 Zeiller (loc. cit.) under the name of Lycopodites carbonaceus, 0. Feistm., sp. I have 

 fully satisfied myself, from the examination of foliage branches of Bothrodendron 

 minutifolium, which were associated with stems bearing the characteristic marks of the 

 species, that the Lycopodium carbonaceum of 0. Feistmantel has been founded on 

 foliage branches of Bothrodendron minutifolium. Although small branches of this 

 Lycopod, bearing the foliage, are not uncommon, yet owing to the dense manner in

t See Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist., vol.xvi. p. 251, 1885. Note. — Since this paper was written I have seen 

 specimens of Bothrodendron punctatum, L. & H., as well as of Bothrodendron minutifolium, from the Lower Coal 

 Measures, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
