 with those from the coalfield above mentioned, and also with the 

 seeds figured by Brongniart in his ' Histoire ' (pi. xlvi) in asso- 

 ciation with this frond.

A much decorticated specimen of a Lejndodendron has been

 leaves, but neither can be identified specifically.

Stigmarian rootlets are often extremely abundant in many of 

 the beds passed through by both bores, and especially in the 

 fireclays. The highest bed in the Waldershare Series containing 

 these rootlets is at 1435 feet, and in the Fredville Series at 

 1392 feet. In both cases these are practically the first plant- 

 remains met with in the cores.
