of Selagin^Htes, ■which affords evidence of heterospory ; a new 

 species of Hausmannia, founded on several well-preserved fronds ; 

 a new genus and species represented by incomplete fertile pinna? 

 with well-preserved spores very similar to those of recent Schizte- 

 aceae ; a new genus and species of fern founded on fertile pinnae; 

 ApMf.hia sp. ; a new species of Dicliopteris ; Ctenis sp. ; a new 

 species of Conites ; Pinites sp. cf. P. dunheri Carr. Additional 

 information is given in regard to the following species : — 

 Sarienopteris mantelli (Dunk.), Matonidium gcepperti (Ett.), 

 Euffordia (joejiperti (Dunk.), Cladophlebis hronmiana (Dunk.), 

 Williamsonia carf-uthersi Sew. (?), Otozamites kh'psteini (Dunk.), 

 Eurycymdolejvs sp., Araucnrites pippingfordensis Ung., Pinites 

 sohnsi Sew., and Sphenolcpidium kurrianum (Dunk.). 



The concluding section deals with Wealden floras generally, and 

 some account is given of the geographical distribution of the better- 

 known types. It is pointed out that, while there is a very close 

 similarity between the "Wealden flora of England and the corre- 

 sponding floras in Eastern and Western North America, the number 

 of cosmopolitan types is less than in the case of the Middle Jurassic 

 floras. 



2. ' Notes on the Discovery of Fossiliferous Old Red Sandstone 

 in a Boring at Southall, near Ealing.' By Ernest Proctor, A.Il.C.S. 

 With a Note on the Eish-Reraains, by Dr. A. Smith Woodward, 

 LL.D., E.R.S., Sec.G.S. 



The boring described in this paper is situated at Southall, and 

 was made for the purpose of obtaining water from the Lower 

 Greensand. For this purpose, however, the boring was a complete 

 failure, as it passed directly from the Gault into Palaeozoic rocks. 

 The older rocks were met with at a depth of 1130 feet, and 

 continued with slight variation to a depth of 12G1 feet, the lower 

 limit of the borehole. For the most part, they were red and 

 green mottled clays and sandstones, with occasional bands of fine 

 conglomerate. 



The fossils were yielded by definite bands, which varied from 

 1 inch to an eighth of an inch in thickness ; they consisted mainly 

 of scales and teeth of Eoloptycliius and plates of Bothriolepis, both 

 characteristic genera of the Old Red Sandstone. 



The paper concludes with a brief description of the fish-remains, 

 which, although fragmentary, are sufficient to indicate the Upper 

 Devonian or Upper Old Red Sandstone age of the rocks in which 

 thej' were discovered.
