The relations of several other species figured by Fontaine are also 
discussed, including Ctenophyllum taxinum,'F out., which he says is 
identical with his Pterojihyllum cteniforme. Whatever species shall 
eventually pass into synonymy, it is clearly no fault of Professor Fon- 
taine's that so many of his species are identical with the new ones of 
Stur, of which he had no knowledge since the Prodrome of the Lunz 
flora, all that has yet appeared, and without illustrations, was pub- 
lished in 1885, two years after the publication of Fontaine's mono- 
graph. Prof. Stur's discussion shows an evident affinity between the 
flora of the Richmond coal fields and those of Lunz and Raibl, and 
the Lettenkohl of Germany, but one can hardly find courage to go the 
whole length with him in putting as his first and foremost argument 
the fact that the Clover Hill specimens are so similar lithologically to 
those of Lunz that those acquainted with the latter would pronounce 
them as coming from Lunz.
