 Middle Coal Measures. 



Hor. — Barnsley Thick Coal. Loc. — East Gawber Colliery, 

 near Barnsley (Hemingway). 



Remarks. — Owing to the fragmentary condition of the 

 specimens described by Brongniart, the true characters of 

 this fern were not understood. His figures mostly shew 

 terminal portions of pinnae, where the pinnules in Neuropteris 

 are generally united, to a greater or less extent, by their bases 

 to the rachis, giving such specimens a Pecopteroid character. 

 Excellent figures of Ah'uropteris obliqua are given by Zeiller. 

 This species appears to be rare in Yorkshire, the only 

 specimens known to me being two small examples collected 

 by Mr. Hemingway.
