 Asterocarpus pteroides, Weiss, Foss. Flora d.jiingst. Stk. u. d. RotKl., p. 91. 



Remarks. — Pec. pteroides is extremely rare ; the only specimen I have seen 

 from the Radstock Series is one in the British Museum, labelled as coming 

 from "near Bath." 



The figures given by Geinitz as Pec. (Alethopteris) pteroides do not appear 

 to belong to this species.* 



Locality: — " Near Bath." 



Pecopteris crenulata, Brongniart. 



Pecopteris crenulata, Brongt., Hist., d. veget. foss., p. 300, pi. lxxxvii. fig. 1. 



Pecopteris crenulata, Zeiller, Bull. soc. geol. d. France, 3 e ser., vol. xii. p. 200, 1883 ; Flore foss. 

 du Bassin houil. de Valenciennes, pi. xxv. figs. 1-4. 



Remarks. — I refer to this species a single specimen collected at Camerton. 

 It is, however, possible that some other examples which I have not yet been 

 able satisfactorily to identify may belong to this species. 



Locality : — Camerton. 



Pecopteris polymorpha, Brongniart. 



Pecopteris polymorplia, Brongt., Hist. d. veget. foss., p. 331, pi. cxiii.

Pecopteris Miltoni, Brongt. (not Artis), in part, Hist. d. veget. foss., pi. cxiv. figs. 2, 7 (other figs.?). 



Remarks. — Not common. A good fruiting example was collected at 

 Radstock. 



I have detected the presence of short adpressed hairs on the upper surface 

 of the pinnules of a specimen of this species from Trafalgar Colliery, near 

 Drybrook, Forest of Dean. This villosity is so copious that on some of the 

 pinnules the nervation is almost completely obscured. 



Localities : — Radstock ; Braysdown Colliery ; Camerton. 



* Vers, de Steinkf. in Sachsen, pi. xxxii. figs. 1-5.
