258 FOSSIL FLORA OF THE PEMBROKESHIRE COALFIELD. [June 1913, 



Bay for about a mile and a half. This area will be considered first, 

 because the highest beds of the coalfield are found here. The 

 second district includes the region between Haroldston West and a 

 little north of Talbenny. The third and largest area extends from 

 Tenby to Ragwen Point, and stretching towards St. Bride's Bay is 

 eaten into by the Eastern Cleddau, the Western Cleddau, and the 

 Daucleddau. 



I have succeeded in collecting from the shales associated with 

 the Rickets Head Vein, two species, belonging to the genera 

 Annularia and Linopteris, which are apparently new. The de- 

 scriptions of these species will be found below (pp. 265-66), 

 together with that of a species of LepidopJiyllum, also from this 

 vein, which has not been described before. Another species of 

 Linopteris from the same coal-seam may be new also, but it seems 

 best to refer it to L. brongniarti Gutb. : this plant has not, with 

 certainty, been previously obtained from British Coal Measures. 



From the Saundersfoot Measures I obtained a specimen of 

 Vetacapsula, which Dr. L. Moysey thinks should be regarded as a 

 new species. I am indebted to him for kindly supplying me with 

 a description of it. I have omitted this species from the table 

 in which the plants obtained from the beds of that district are set 

 forth, since there is much doubt as to the nature of the genus 

 Vetacapsula, the members probably being egg-capsules of certain 

 fishes rather than fructifications. 



(A) Nolton-Newgale District. 



In the following table (p. 259) are enumerated the species which, 

 were collected from this part of the coalfield, together with their 

 respective localities and horizons. I did not obtain any plants 

 from the 'Millstone Grit' of this area. 



(B) Haroldston West-Tal benny District. 



Practically all the plants obtained from this area were collected 

 from the Falling-Cliff Beds and the Settlings Beds. I did not 

 obtain from the 'Millstone Grit' between Haroldston West and 

 Druidston Haven any plants that could be identified. 



The relation of the Settlings Beds to the other groups near Littlo 

 Haven is not very clear, the beds along the coast being much dis- 

 turbed. However, Prof. 0. T. Jones, who has surveyed this district,, 

 informs me that, in his opinion, the beds below the overthrust 

 at the Settlings are not far removed from the horizon of the 

 group of veins worked at Broad Haven. He also believes that 

 the sandstones of the Falling-Cliff Series are the same beds as 

 those on the north side of the Settlings. If this be the case,
