212 REPORT— 1902. 



plants he identified last year fi'om beds of the same horizon in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Pendle Hill. Unfortunately for the value of plants as zone 

 fossils, this flora is associated in the Calciferous Sandstone group with a 

 totally different fauna from that which obtains at Poolvash, and also the 

 stratigraphical position of the Poolvash shales and Pendle Hill beds 

 admit of no doubt, the deposits resting on the upper beds of the Carboni- 

 ferous Limestone series. 



Of three specimens, doubtfully referred to Dictijonema, one was 

 obtained from the Pendleside Limestone series at Hook Cliff, and the 

 others from the plant-beds at Poolvash. 



The White Limestones of Poolvash contain a rich fauna identical with 

 that of the upper part of the Limestone Massif at Settle, Cracoe, Clitheroe, 

 and Derbyshire, and belongs to the zone of Prodnctus giganteus. 



He found the Posidonomya Becheri beds with Pterino})eclen {Avicu- 

 lopecten) fapyracPAis and Posidoniella Ici'.vis in the Millbeck, 1 J mile S.E. 

 of Hetton, 1-inch Geological Survey, sheet 92, N.W. 



Higher up the stream the Limestone Massif is exposed, and here 

 Productns giganteus a,x\di & iy^icsil fauna were obtained. This is part of 

 the Massif which extends E. and W. from Calton to Greenhow Hill via 

 Cracoe. 



Mr. Tait also collected carefully from the exposures in the River 

 Hodder. It will be remembered that Dr. Henry Woodward described 

 two new species of Trilobites from this locality.^
