Deposits containing Fossil Plants. 79 
IRELAND (120 miles west of Dublin). 
(Reid, ‘The Origin of Megaceros-marl, Jrisk Natu- 
valist, May, 1895.) 
A sample of the marl which yields the skeletons of 
the Irish elk was sent to me by Mr. W. Williams of 
Dublin. The exact locality was not stated. The deposit 
is a Chara-marl full of seeds of Pond-weeds, with a few other 
plants. 
Ranunculus aquatilis. Eleocharis palustris. 
Myriophyllum spicatum. Carex (?). 
Littorella lacustris. Scirpus (?). 
Potamogeton crispus. Chara (several species). 
prelongus. 
The exact date of these marls is still uncertain, for the 
associated deposits have not yet been properly examined.

Man is found peat with Salix herbacea. No fossil Arctic 
plants have yet been found in Ireland, and the deposit is 
therefore provisionally classed with the Neolithic peat- 
mosses. 
KELSEY HILL, YORKSHIRE. 
(Reid, ‘Geology of Holderness,” pp. 74, 75. Mem. 
Geol. Survey. 1885.) 
Peaty clay caps an isolated sand-hill rising about 40 feet 
above the Humber marsh. The plants are :— 
Ranunculus aquatilis. Phragmites. 
Potamogeton. 
The exact age of the deposit is doubtful; for, though 
provisionally classed as Neolithic, it may be Late Glacial. 
KILMAURS, AYRSHIRE.
