Reference has already been made to the plants found in the 

 so-called ' Permian ' rocks, passed through in sinking the shaft of the 

 Hamstead Colliery, Great Barr, near Birmingham. The beds which 

 yielded the plants extended from a depth of 729 to 1233 feet 

 below the surface, and are undoubtedly referable to the Upper 

 Coal-Measures; they are, I think, equally certainly the Keele 

 Group of the Potteries Coalfield. Beds above these, extending 

 downwards from 627 feet below the surface, belong, I believe, to 

 the same group, but they did not yield any fossil plants. 



1 The following is a list of the fossil plants observed in the Newstead Boring, 

 Trentham (North Staffordshire), all of which are included in the above list : —
