338 MR ROBERT KIDSTON ON THE FOSSIL FLORA. OF THE 



Kadstock ; this is one of the few collieries from which are worked the coals of 



both the Radstock and Farrington Series. Tyning and Ludlows Pits, Radstock, 



which are here treated as one, as they are connected and the debris of both is 



brought to the same rubbish tip near the Tyning Pit ; in the localities given 



for the species, Tyning and Ludlows Pits are recorded as " Radstock." Middle 



Pit and Wellsway Pit, Radstock ; Kilmersdon Pit and Lower Writhlington 



Pit, near Radstock ; the Camerton Pits ; and the Upper and Lower Conygre 



Pits, Timsbury. 



The veins belonging to the Radstock Series worked at these collieries 



are : — 



r Great Vein, Top Little Vein, Middle 



Braysdown Pit, . . <

Vein, and Bull Vein.

In addition to my own collecting, I have examined the specimens from the 

 Radstock coal field in the Bath and Bristol Museums, and am indebted to 

 the Rev. H. H. Winwood, F.G.S., for the use of specimens contained in the 

 collection of the former, and to the Council of the Bristol Museum for a similar 

 privilege ; and I am further under obligation to Mr E. Wilson, Curator of the 

 Bristol Museum, for giving every facility for examining the specimens under his 

 charge. 



I have also examined specimens from this coal field in the British Museum; 

 University Museum, Oxford; Museum of the Geological Society of London; 

 as well as some specimens from the same district in the Collection of the 

 Geological Survey of England, in their Museum, Jermyn Street, London. 



I am, however, principally indebted to Mr J. M'Murtrie, F.G.S., Radstock, 

 for kindly placing at my disposal, for the purpose of examination and descrip- 

 tion, his fine collection of fossil plants from the Radstock Series. I am also 

 further indebted to him for much information as to the geology of the neigh- 

 bourhood, and from his various papers on the Geology of the Somerset and 

 Bristol Coal Field the short geological sketch just given has been compiled.* 



* Those wishing fuller information on the geology of the Somerset and Bristol Coal Field will find 

 it contained in the following papers and works : — Rev. Prof. W. Buckland and Rev. W. D. Cony-
