fig. 13, and A. davreuxi (Brong.) Three interesting Sigil- 

 larian stems occur occasionally, S. elongata, Brongn., S. Icevi- 

 gata, Brongn., Plate XXXVIII., fig. 7, and the rare 5. Brardi, 

 var. denudata, Gcepp. Lepidodendron dichotomum, Sternb. is 

 met with. 



CRUMP MEADOW AND FOXE's BRIDGE COLLIERIES 



These two collieries, the heaps of which are close together 

 and lie a short distance South of Trafalgar Colliery, proved 

 much less prolific on the occasions of my visits than that at 

 Trafalgar. Some of the commonest species of the coalfield 

 occur in both cases. Crump Meadow Colliery proved to be 

 particularly barren, though specimens of Mariopteris muricata 

 (Schloth.), Plate XXXVII., fig. i, Alethopteris davreuxi 

 (Brongn.), and Sigillaria Icpvigata, Brongn., Plate XXXVIII., 

 fig. 7, were obtained here. At Foxe's Bridge, Cordaites angu- 

 losostriatus, Grand'Eury, Plate XXXVIII. , fig. 11, is particu- 

 larly abundant, and among the rarer plants found here were 

 Calamostachys tubcrculata (Sternb.), Annularia radiata ? 

 (Brongn.), Neuropieris macrophylla, Brongn., and Sigillaria 

 rugosa, Brongn., Plate XXXVIIL, fig. 8. 



LIGHTMOOR COLLIERY 



The waste heaps of the different collieries, no doubt, vary 

 from time to time as regards fertility, from the point of 

 view of fossil plants, and it does not follow that a colliery, 

 which proved nearly sterile during a certain visit, is not worth 

 visiting on a future occasion. However, of all the collieries 

 working the Second Division, I found that at Lightmoor, near 

 Cinderford Bridge, the least productive of fossil plants. 



Neuropieris ovata, Hoffm., Pecopteris polymorpha, Brongn., 

 Plate XXXVII., fig. 3, Sigillaria Icevigata, Brongn., Plate 

 XXXVIII., fig. 7, and Lepidodendron lanceolatum, Lesq. were 

 the chief species obtained there, and most of these are common 

 elsewhere. 



NEW FANCY COLLIERY 



The heap of New Fancy Colliery, which lies nearly two 

 miles due south of the Speech House, has a character all its 

 own. The large heaps here are not perhaps so prolific as
