THE FOSSIL FLORA OF THE SOUTH WALES COAL FIELD. 583 



Remarks. — Schimper thought that Calamostachys typica might possibly be the 

 cone of Calamocladus longifolius, and the foliage attached to the stem of the specimen 

 of C. typica, in the Collection of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, Jermyn St., 

 London, is similar to the foliage of Calamocladus longifolius, which proves that 

 Schimper's surmise was correct. On the back of the slab which shows the cones, is also 

 a branch of Calamocladus longifolius. 



The specimen of Calamostachys typica from Ebbw Vale is 6 inches long, and 

 shows 4 nodes, as indicated by the position of the cones, only 2 of which are shown to 

 rise from each node, but it is impossible to determine the original number borne at each 

 node. The cones are short stalked, linear lanceolate, and 3 which show their complete 

 length are 2 T \ inch long. There are generally 5 bracts shown on the exposed half of the 

 whorl: these stand at first almost at right angles to the axis, but their distal portions 

 bend somewhat suddenly upwards. The only two stem nodes which are exposed show 

 the foliage : this is best seen at the lowest node, and it is indistinguishable from the 

 foliage of Calamocladus longifolius, of which Calamostachys typica is evidently its 

 fruit.
