Remarks. — A few fragments of Rhodea moravica, Ett., sp., were collected at Budle. 

 The type specimens, as figured by Ettingshausen, have suffered much from decay before 

 fossilisation took place, hence his figures show little more than the veins of the pinnules, 

 from which all the limb has decayed. 



Stur, in his Culm Flora, more fully figures and describes the species. The pinnules 

 are divided into 3-10 simple or bifid linear segments, each having a central vein. The 

 limb of the pinnule forms a very narrow border to the veins. Though the Budle 

 specimens are fragmentary, they show very well the form and segmentation of the 

 pinnules. 



Locality. — Shore section, W. of Budle, Chesterfield Slakes, Northumberland. 



Horizon. — Calcareous group, about the middle — top of Calciferous Sandstone 

 series = Oil Shale group of Midlothian.
