Middle Coal Measures. 

 Horizon and Locality. — Shale overlying Ash Ironstone. Fenton. 



Lycopod Macrospores. 



Very little attention has been paid to the examination of the shales and under- 

 clays in the Potteries Coal Field for spores. In only three localities have collec- 

 tions been made with this object, and from all of them several of the gatherings have 

 yielded numerous and well-preserved macrospores. The finer material has not yet been 

 searched for the much minuter spores, which are usually found associated with the 

 macrospores.* 



Collections from Wetley Moor, Lower Coal Measures (Lower Series). 

 Locality 53t. — Shales cropping out on banks of small stream, near Ash Hall. 



Triletes IX. 

 Triletes XII. (?) 



Locality 54. — Shales near Brook House Lane. 



Triletes VIII. 

 Triletes IX. 

 Triletes XII. 



The specimens at these two localities were numerous and well preserved. 



Collections from the Middle Coal Measures. 

 Locality 52. — Eastwood Marl Pit, Hanley. 



* The shales have been carefully prepared for me by Mr James Bennie, in the manner recommended in our paper 

 in the Proc. Hoy. Phys. Soc. Edin., vol. ix. p. 92, to whom for his assistance I am again much indebted. 



+ The numbers refer to the working list of localities from which collections have been made at various times. The 

 i-ontents of localities 1 to 37 have been already published. See Proc. Roy. Phys. Soc, vol. ix. pp. 93-102.
