Remarks:
This Form 4 was inadvertently fi led late due to a misunderstanding about whether the reporting person was considered to be an "officer" for reporting purposes pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since CONSOL Energy Inc. (the "Company") had determined that the reporting person was not considered to be an "executive officer" for reporting purposes pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This Form 4 has been filed in conjunction with a Form 3 report filed by the reporting person, and reflects all reportable transactions undertaken by the reporting person from March 1, 2013, the date she was appointed as the Company's principal accounting officer, and the current date.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
