THE CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF CANONBIE, DUMFRIESSHIRE, ETC. 745 



Note. — This fossil appears to be characteristic of the uppermost beds of the 

 Calciferous Sandstone series — those in a position immediately below the Hurlet Lime- 

 stone or its equivalents and the Carboniferous Limestone series. 



Localities and Horizon. — River Esk, a short distance above Gilnockie Bridge, 

 Canonbie. A little below the Gilnockie Limestones, which contain the equivalent of 

 the Hurlet Limestone. 



Liddelwater, Penton Linns, Canonbie. A little below the Penton Linns Limestones 

 ( = Gilnockie Limestones), which contain the equivalents of the Hurlet Limestone.

Remarks. — The Sphenopteris rutsefolia, Eichwald {non Gutbier), as figured by 

 Schmalhausen, is evidently the Sphenopteris bifida of Lindley and Hutton. 

 Schmalhausen also points out that the figures of Sphenopteris rutsefolia originally given 

 by Eichwald are very inaccurate, and that the plants he figures are identical with 

 Eichwald's specimens.
