MR. R. H. G00DE ON THE FOSSIL FLORA. 



[June 1913,- 



the plants obtained from the shales at the north-eastern corner 

 of Musclewick, which are placed above the Falling-Cliff Sand- 

 stones, might be expected to lie on about the same horizon as those 

 obtained from the shales below the overthrust at the Settlings. 



From the structure of the district it is very difficult, if not 

 impossible, to determine the position of the beds at the Settlings,, 

 which are above the plane of overthrust, for they are faulted 

 against all other beds. Prof. 0. T. Jones, however, thinks that 

 these beds may be higher than those below the plane of overthrust, 

 and may therefore be the highest beds seen in the cliffs between 

 the neighbourhood of Haroldston "West and Musclewick, Little- 

 Haven. 



It is difficult to correlate the Broad-Haven coals with those of 

 any other area. Prof. Jones considers that they are almost 

 certainly not higher than the Timber- Vein group, and may in fact 

 be the equivalents of that group. On the other hand, they may be 

 the representatives of some of the lower seams occurring farther 

 east, namely, the Lower Level "Vein or the Catshole Vein. Prof. 

 Jones, however, inclines to the former view. He also informs me 

 that all the beds along that coast are certainly not higher than the 

 Lower Coal Series.
