and described a few species of Coniferoi ; and Professor King, in 1844, pub- 

 lished an elaborate paper on the characters of Sigillaria. The species in the 

 Newcastle Coal Measui'es have been carefully tabulated, with references, by 

 Professor Morris in his " Catalogue of British Fossils " in 1854 ; and also 

 by Mr. Howse in his " Synopsis of Organic Remains," in 1865. Some ac- 

 count of the Mountain Limestone Flora was given by myself in 1853, in Dr. 

 Johnston's "Botany of the Eastern Borders." 



Of the few fossil remains of Mammalia which have been obsei-ved in 

 superficial deposits, Mr. Howse has given an account in the "Transactions 

 of the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club," Vol. IV., page 111. Probably 

 remains of the beaver may be discovered lurking in some of our bogs, as 

 they have been found in the adjoining county of Eoxburghshii*e.
