KILMARNOCK, GALSTON, AND KILWINNING COAL FIELDS, AYRSHIRE. 345 



Remarks. — This species is very rare, and very few examples have been met with in 

 the Kilmarnock area. Bothrodendron punctatum was long regarded as a decorticated 

 condition of Ulodendron, L. and H., but Zeiller has clearly shown that Bothrodendron is 

 a well-founded genus and synonymous with Rhytidodendron, Boulay.* 

 Locality. — Bonnyton Pit, Kilmarnock. 

 Horizon. — Shale over Whistler Coal. 

 Locality. — No. 3 Pit, Springhill, Crosshouse. 

 Horizon. — Shale over Major Coal.
