A Bibliography of Works referring to the Flora and Fauna of the Trias 
(Keuper) in Leicestershire, apd in some outlying localities. 
1. (1850) Plant, John.—‘ Notice of the Discovery of Beds of Keuper Sandstone, 
containing Zoophytes in the vicinity of Leicester’ (‘ Rep. Brit. Assoc.,’1849, Trans, 
of Sect., p. 64). (Gorgonia Keuperi, Plant. This name must be regarded as a nomen 
nudum, the specimens so called being probably novus, more than worm-tracks or 
crustacean-tracks.) 
2. (1856)' Plant, James.— ‘ On the Upper Keuper Sandstone included in the New 
Red Marls, and its Fossils at Leicester’ (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc.,’ pp. 369-373), with 
sections, one containing errors. (Mentions occurrence of Algx, Lquisete, Voltzia, 
Echinostachys oblongus, Annelid tracks, Crustacea, Estheria minuta, teeth of Fishes, 
Ichthyodorulites, according to Sir P. de M. Egerton of the genus Strophodus, foot- 
marks, various bones. This formed the basis of the flora and fauna down to 1893.)

Foraminifera from Chellaston, near Derby’ (‘ Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc.,’ vol. 1860, 
pp- 452-7, pl. xix., xx.). (Some Foraminifera are here wrongly attributed to 
Triassic strata, and it has since been pointed out that they are more probably of 
Liassic age and glacially derived. See also ibid., vol. xl. p. 771; and W. D. Crick 
and C. D. Sherborn, ‘Journ. Northamp. Nat. Hist. Soce.,’ vol. vii. p.68; and T. R.

with section, p. 66. Hstheria recorded near Leicester.)
