England 



The floras of the Lower Cretaceous of England above the Wealden are 



scanty and inadequately described. The following list compiled by 



Ward in 1896 includes the recorded remains from the Lower Greensand 



and Atherfield beds (Urgonian-Aptian). These will probably receive 



a modern treatment in the work on the Cretaceous which Dr. Stopes of 



Manchester is preparing for the British Museum: 



Cycadeoidea Gibsoni (Carr.) Ward

Cycadeoidea maxima (Carr.) Solms-Laubach

Ettingshausen ' in 1852 described a number of so-called Wealden plants 



from Moravia and from Zobing in lower Austria, and 19 years later 



Schenk * published his admirable account of the flora of the Wernsdorf er 



schiehten from Austrian Silesia in the northern Carpathians. The age 



^ Stopes has recently shown this to be coniferous.
