Mr. Salter reeled in a paper on on older rocks of the 
North of Scotland, by Sir R. I. Murchison, a drawing and description 
of a branching stem supposed to belong to a Fern, a named by him 
Caulopteris (?) Peachit, after its, discoverer (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., 
. 408), 
mitting from this record the notices in Murchison’s ‘ Siluria,”’ 
which are substantially those published by Salter, and the 
references in general works on geology, these are the whole of the 
published accounts bearing on the Lycopodiacee of the Old Red Sand-
