18 ME. E. A. KEWELL AEBEE ON THE TIPPER [Feb. I907, 



(SchL), both widely distributed species in the Coal Measures, occur 

 in tbe shales on the shore on the west side of Gauter Point, near 

 Buck's Mill Month. 



On the west coast, at Speke's Mill Mouth, a short distance to the 

 south of Hartland Quay, the following plants were obtained :^- 



C'alamocladus cf. 0. equisetiformis 



(SchL). 

 Annul aria (?) sp. 

 Sphenophyllum sp. 



Alcthcpteris lonchitica (SchL). 

 Mariopteris muricata (SchL). 

 Lepidophyllum (?) . 

 Stigraaria sp. 



Farther south, at Embury Beach, between Speke's Mill 

 Month and Welcombe Mouth, a Splienopteris, a Sphenopliyllum, 

 and a Galamite were collected, but the species could not be 

 determined. 



At Welcombe Mouth, within a mile of the boundary betweeu 

 Devon and Cornwall, the following plant-remains were obtained. 



Annularia sp. Alethopteris lonchitica (SchL). 



Sphenoptcris sp. Stigraaria ficoides (Sternb.). 



Still farther south, in Cornwall, a Calamite was found near Litter 

 Mouth ; and, at Warren Gutter Beach, specimens of Catamites 

 Suckowi, Brongn., and Stigmaria ficoides (Sternb.) were obtained. A 

 more interesting discovery, however, was made on the north side of 

 Higher Sharpnose Point, where a specimen which may be compared 

 with Dactyloilieca plumosa (Artis) was collected. 



These fossils do not, in themselves, afford sufficient evidence to 

 determine the horizon of the beds. They are, however, from rocks 

 which are known to overlie sediments belonging to the Middle Coal 

 Measures ; and, as already stated, there is a total absence of any 

 plants which are especially characteristic of the Upper Coal 

 Measures. Further, so far as they go, they are indicative of a 

 Middle rather than of an Upper Coal Measure horizon. Nearly 

 all of them have also been found in the richer plant-bearing beds of 

 the Bideford district. 



Several new localities and new species have also been discovered 

 in the Bideford district, chiefly through the energy of Mr. Bogers. 

 These supplement the already published account of the flora of 

 that district. 



Neuropteris tenuifolia (SchL), in addition to many other species 

 already recorded from Devon, has been found in the shales closely 

 associated with the culm-band at Greena cliff on the coast, about 

 2 miles from Bideford. A Splienopteris (which may be compared 

 with Sph. microcarpa, Lesq.) and Neuropteris acuminata (Schl.) 

 were also collected from shales about 100 yards north of the 

 culm-band above mentioned. At Summer Hiscott, a locality 

 already mentioned in my previous paper, Mr. Bogers has obtained 

 Corynepteris Stembergi (Ett.), a Neuropteris like N. stradonitzensis 

 (Andrae), and cones referable to the genus Oalamostachys. At Pitt 

 Quarry, Abbotsham, a Halonial branch of a Lepidophloios has been 

 collected. SpJienopteris Hceninghausi, Brongn., has also been
