A few species of Inferior Oolite plants have been recorded by 

 Fliche & Bleicher * from strata in the neighbourhood of Nancy, 

 but the fragments figured are too small to admit of accurate 

 determination. 



Additions have been made to the plants from French Jurassic 

 strata by Crie, who records some new species from Mamers and 

 other localities. This author has also published brief notes on the 

 comparison of French Jurassic plants with species from England, 

 Portugal, and the Southern Hemisphere. 2 A fern described by 

 Zeiller as Acrostichiden rhombifolius, var. rartnervis, Font., from 

 the Gres bigarre of Saint-Germain bears a close resemblance to 

 Todites Williamsoni from the English Oolitic rocks. 3

The chief developments of Jurassic rocks in Germany are referred 

 by Kayser 4 to three principal areas : 



1. Franko-Swalian area, forming a large curve, "one arm of 

 which extends with a south-easterly strike from the region 

 of Coburg to Regensburg, whilst the other stretches thence 

 in a south-westerly direction to the foot of the Black 

 Forest." The passage -beds between the Keuper and
