My opinion as to the relation of the said Lepidodendron rimosum to 
A. Veltlieimianum was greatly confirmed by the above work of Mr. Dionys 
Star, where there are numerous beautiful figures of A. Veltlieimianum , 
amongst which X observe several which pretty well agree with our figure of 
the supposed A. rimosum (PI. X, big. 5) ; also in a previous work of mine, on 
the Carboniferous Flora of Rothwaltersdorf, in Silesia, there is figured a 
specimen (Tab. XVII, Fig. 31) which strongly resembles the mentioned 
specimen from Australia. There appears, therefore, hardly any doubt that 
this Australian Lepidodendron rimosum, Corda, is really a variety of A. 
Veltlieimianum, Sthg. Later I received another specimen (PI. X, Fig. 4) 
which I have also identified with the same species. 
The various relations of this species have been so exhaustively treated 
by Mr. Dionys Stur that nothing can be added from our specimens. 
Locality and Horizon. — The supposed L. rimosum (PI. X, Fig. 5) came 
from the Roucliel River, New South Wales. Mr. Clarke added : “ With 
abundance of Lower Carboniferous marine forms.” The other specimen is 
from the strata at Smith’s Creek, Stroud, New South Wales (Lower Carboni- 
ferous). Mr. Tenison Woods quotes it from Bobuntungen, Drummond 
Range, Queensland. 
Knokria state of the above species (?).

Kn orria-stadium (?) von Lepidodendron Veltlieimianum (?), Feistmailtel, too. cit., 1879, p. 152, 
PI. Y, figs. 2, 3. 
Obs. — On PI. X there are also figured two specimens of small stems, 
which are somewhat compressed, and are furnished with scars on the surface. 
These scars are impressions of an oblong form, and in their lower portion (I 
suppose having figured the specimens in their correct position) they arc 
somewhat widened, while they are narrower in their upper part. The distri- 
bution on the stem is in a very steep quincunx. There appears hardly any 
doubt that these specimens belong to Lepidodendroid plants, but it is not 
quite easy to assign to them a definite place. They are either decorticated 
stems of some Lepidodendron (probably A. Veltlieimianum) , or else they 
represent the so-called Knorria state of the named species of Lepidodendron, 
although the scars here are hollow impressions. 
Locality and Horizon. — In the Lower Carboniferous strata at Smith’s 
Creek, Stroud ; also in the Drummond Range, Queensland, in a similar 
formation (according to Mr. Tenison "Woods).
