Remarks. — The Antholithus Pitcairnise, L. and H., is the axis and bracts of the 

 inflorescence which bore the little seeds long known as Cardiocarpum acutum, L. and 

 H. # These are now both included under the name of Cordaianthus Pitcairnise. 



There can be no doubt that Cordaianthus Pitcairnise is the inflorescence of Cordaites ; 



but in the absence of certain knowledge, it is unsafe to refer it definitely to any given 



.species, though there is evidence to indicate that it may belong to Cordaites principalis. 



Cordaianthus Pitcairnise is of frequent occurrence in the Middle and Lower CoaJ 



Measures, but is more commonly only represented by its seeds.
