Very few fossil plaats are recorded from the other sub-stages 

 of the Great Oolite series, and it is unnecessary to refer to the 

 small number of records to be found in the literature to Bathonian 

 plants other than those from the Stonesfield Slate. 



Oxfordian Plants. — In addition to fossil wood,' a very few 

 species of plants are known from the Oxford Clay. From "Wiltshire, 

 Carruthers ^ has described a f ossU which he named Cycadeostrohus 

 sphxricus, but this is in all probability an Araucaiian cone. The 

 Museum collection contains pieces of coniferous twigs from Christian 

 MaKord, some of which have been described by Carruthers.^
