An analysis of the fossil plants found at Jockie's Syke shows that of the 14 names 

 available for comparison, 13 are already known to occur in the Upper Coal Measures 

 of England, and of these 6 are characteristic of that horizon, 7 are common to Upper 

 and Middle Coal Measures, while 5 occur in the Lower Coal Measures of Britain, but of 

 these 5, 4 are common to all the divisions of the Coal Measures, while the 5th, 

 Lepidodendr on fusiforme, Corda, sp., has only been previously seen in Britain in the 

 Middle and Lower Coal Measures. 



This analysis shows that at least the upper portion of the ' Red Shales ' must be 

 classed with the Upper Coal Measures, not only on account of the number of Upper 

 Coal Measure species therein met with, but also on account of the absence of a single 

 characteristic Middle Coal Measure species. This absence of Middle Coal Measure 

 species makes it equally impossible to class these beds with the Upper Transition 

 series. 



The fact of Lepidodendr on fusiforme, Corda, sp., occurring in the Upper Coal 



* Martin's specimen probably comes from this horizon.
