For these rocks, consult Phillips' Manual of Geology. They present the earliest known 

 records of the existence of tracts of dry land, in the impressions of ferns, of palms, and of 

 other terrestial plants, of which the coal seems to be made up ; witnesses at once of a more 

 genial climate, and of the prevalence of islands, rather than of extensive continents. But the 

 carboniferous limestone, within which the coal beds lie, bears evidence, in its corals, shells, &c, 

 of a submarine origin. See also Phillips' Geology of Yorkshire.
