Note. — The only specimens of this species which 1 have seen from the South 

 Staffordshire Coal Field were a few fragments collected by the late Mr C. Beale in 

 1887. One of these is exceptionally well preserved, and is that from which the figure 

 of Cordaites [Araucarioxylon) Brandlingi given by Scott (loc. cit.) was prepared.
