Report on Fossil Plants, collected by the Geological Survey of Scotland in Eskdale 
and Liddesdale. By Ropert Kipston. (Plates XXX. to XXXII.) 
(Read 20th March 1882.) 
Through the kindness of Dr. A. Grrxte, Director-General of the Geological 
Survey of Great Britain, I have had the pleasure of examining the fossil plants 
collected by the Scottish Geological Survey from the Calciferous Sandstones of 
Eskdale and Liddesdale. 
The collection contains about four hundred and fifty specimens, of which 
considerable numbers were so imperfect and fragmentary, that nothing more 
than the genus could be determined with safety, whilst others were beautifully 
preserved, showing their most minute details of structure. 
Eight of the plants I believe to be new species, and a few, as far as I am 
aware, are now recorded for the first time as occurring in Scottish rocks. 
The specimens were chiefly collected by Mr. ArtHur Macconocuig, Fossil 
Collector to the Geological Survey. 
The following is a list of the genera and species; those which I consider to 
be new species are marked *, and those which I believe to be recorded for the 
first time as belonging to our Scottish Fossil Flora t, 
Plants from Eskdale and Liddesdale, exclusive of Canonbie.
