 Pecopteris, sp. (allied to Pecopteris Miltoni, Artis, sp.). 



Remarks. — The Pecopteris placed here is very rare, and has only been met with once 

 in the Kilmarnock Coal Field. The specimens are too imperfect for a satisfactory 

 determination. I have also seen the same fern from the Lanarkshire Coal Field, but 

 there also it occurred in a very fragmentary condition.
