INVESTIGATION OF FAUNA AND FLORA OF TRIAS OF BRITISH ISLES. 161 
Investigation of the Fuuna and Flora of the Trias of the British Isles. 
Third Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. A. 
Herpman (Chairman), Mr. J. Lomas (Secretary), Professor W. W. 
Warts, Professor P. F. KENDALL, and Messrs. H. C. BEASLEY, 
E. T. Newron, A. C. Sewarp, and W. A. E. UssHer. (Drawn 
up by the Secretary.) 
Tue work of the Committee during the past year has been mainly directed 
towards ascertaining what Triassic fossils are stored in provincial museums. 
Circulars have been issued asking for information, and casts of typical 
footprints have been distributed as an aid to identification. 
Numerous replies have been received, but a more critical examination 
of the specimens is desirable in many cases, and it is hoped to incorporate 
the results in next year’s report. 
Other lines of research are in progress, including a detailed description 
of the footprints found in the Upper Trias by Mr. H. C. Beasley ; and a 
careful examination of the Rhynchosaurus remains in the Shrewsbury 
Museum is being made by Dr. A. Smith Woodward. 
The Museum Committee of the Shrewsbury Town Council has kindly 
allowed the valuable slabs in their keeping to be sent to the British 
Museuwin for this purpose. 
The present report includes a list of Triassic fossils from the Bath 
Museum, by the Rev. W. H. Winwood, M.A., F.G.8.; from the Warwick 
Museum, by Mr. H. C. Beasley ; and, by the kindness of Mr. W. A. E. 
Ussher, F.G.8., of the Geological Survey, an original section, drawn and 
coloured by the late Mr. P. O. Hutchinson, is reproduced, showing the 
relative positions of the beds in the Sidmouth area, in which plant and 
saurian remains have been found. A short note on the occurrence and 
habitat of Zstheria minuta is also contributed by the Secretary.
