Dr. Geinitz in his concluding remarks observes, " I do not think that 

 we should be justified, from the occurrence of these Plants, in referring 

 the coal-bearing beds of Ireland to an older zone than to that of the 

 poor etage of the Westphalian coal formation, which represents very well 

 the relations of their deposition. They indicate here, as there also, the 

 commencement of the Sigillaria zone, the later and richer beds of which 

 in Ireland were destroyed ; a small area may, however, still be preserved 

 in some northern localities of Ireland, as at Dungannon."
