Extract

In a paper published in 1907, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, I described and figured, under the name Zamites grandis, sp. nov., some excellent specimens of detached leaves recently collected by my friend Mr. L. J. Wills, B.A., F.G.S., from the Keuper rocks of Bromsgrove (Worcestershire).

1 I take this opportunity of correcting two slips which appeared on p. 110, paragraphs 2 and 3, of my previous paper with regard to the horizons on which some of the earlier Cyeadophytean fronds occur in the Palæozoic rocks. I am indebted to Professor Zeiller for calling my attention to these errors. The oldest known specimens of Zamites, Plagiozamites, and Pterophyllum should there be stated to be derived from the Stephanian, and not from the Westphalian. Similarly, the beds in the Vosges from which Plagiozamites was obtained are of Permian age, and not Westphalian as stated. Professor Zeiller also informs me that the fossil recorded by Zalessky as Plagiozamites from Manchuria has proved to be a Rhacopteris. Professor Zeiller, in his “Bassin Houiller et Permien de Blanzy et du Creusot”, a memoir whieh I did not see until after my paper had appeared, includes the Zamites Planchardi of the Commentry Flora in the genus Plagiozamites. Consequently the genus Zamites is as yet unknown from the Palæozoic rocks, and it is doubtful if any typical representatives have been described of earlier age than the Rhætic.
