(96) B. p. 79. Solms-Laubach [(97) p. 196] draws attention to the resemblances between the leaf-scars of Colpoxylon and Medullosa.q
[438] In a recent note on Steloxylon to which Dr Scott
has drawn my attention Bertrand records the genus from Saalfeld (Upper Devonian) and expresses the opinion that Steloxylon may be a
condition of Cladoxylon and not a distinct type—P. Bertrand (14) p. 448.
[455] White refers some fronds from the Missouri Coal Measures
to Eremopteris, but their generic identity with the type-species is open to doubt. White (99) B. p. 16.
[470] Gordon (12). The rich development of secretory tissue
suggested the name Rhetinangium (ῥητίνη, resinous gum): the same prefix had previously been adopted by Renault in his genus
Retinodendron [Renault (96) A. p. 365].
[522] Since this account was printed my attention has been
drawn by Dr Scott to a note by Bertrand in which he considerably modifies his views. He finds that Hierogramma and
Syncardia are probably different states of the petiole of Cladoxylon and while agreeing with Solms-Laubach’s
conclusions he has been able to add important new facts. Bertrand has now given up the opinion that Clepsydropsis is the petiole
of Cladoxylon. For further details students should consult the preliminary note which it is hoped will be followed by a fully
illustrated memoir [Bertrand, P. (14)].

[530] The name Palaeopitys, with which
Protopitys might be confused, was used by McNab for an imperfect specimen from the Old Red Sandstone of Scotland described as
Palaeopitys Milleri; McNab (70).
[535] In the form of the pits on the tracheids and in the
structure of the medullary rays the English species (as represented in Dr Kidston’s Collection) agrees very closely with Goeppert’s type.
