Deposits containing Fossil Plants. 69 
FENLAND. 
_ (Skertchly, ‘Geology of the Fenland,’ p. 320, Mem. 
Geol. Survey. 1877; Miller and Skertchly, ‘The Fenland 
past and present,’ p. 341. 1878.) 
The peat and ‘submerged forests’ of the Fenland yield 
numerous remains of trees. The following list of the 
plants was compiled by Mr. A. Bell, but I have not seen 
the specimens, and cannot trace the authorities for some 
of the species. Betula nana is unrecorded elsewhere in 
deposits of so recent a date. 
Fraxinus. Salix Caprea. 
Ulmus. repens. 
Betula alba. Taxus baccata. 
—-—-— nana. Pinus sylvestris. 
Quercus Robur. Juncus aquaticus. 
Fagus sylvatica. Lastrea. 
FILLYSIDE, NEAR EDINBURGH. 
(Bennie, ‘The Raised Sea-Bottom of Fillyside.’ Proc. 
R. Phys. Soc. Edinburgh, Vol. X1., pp. 215-237. 1892.) 
Some drifted seeds occur associated with the marine 
shells. The deposit is here classed provisionally as Neo- 
lithic, for the fauna and flora consists entirely of recent 
British forms, without the Arctic species found in the 
Clyde Beds. 
Ranunculus Flammula. Taraxacum officinale. 
repens. Stachys palustris. 
Viola. Ajuga reptans. 
Lychnis diurna (?). Atriplex patula. 
Stellaria media. Rumex. 
Montia fontana. Mercurialis perennis. 
Rubus Idzus. Alnus glutinosa. 
Sambucus nigra. Carex.
