Remarks. — I was formerly under the opinion that some of the specimens of Sphen- 

 opteris jiexilis and Sphenopteris frigida, as figured by Heer, # were referable to 

 Calymmatotheca affinis, L. andH., sp.,t but Nathorst, who has carefully reflgured this 

 species, has shown that I was mistaken in this view.| 



The only record, therefore, for this species outside of Britain appears to be that by 

 Dr Vaffier, who has discovered Calymmatotheca affinis, L. and H., sp., in the Culm 

 of Fuisse\ Canton of Macon, France. 



A very good restoration of Calymmatotheca affinis is given by Hugh Miller as the 

 frontispiece to his Testimony of the Rocks (edition 1857).
