Remarks. — Until quite recently I believed that Annularia mierophylla Sauveur # 

 was synonymous with the Annularia galioides L. & H., sp. In this view I think 

 I have been mistaken, and now identify as Sauveur's plant specimens that have been in 

 my collection for some years, and which have been derived from different localities, but 

 which I had hitherto failed to identify. 



It may be stated here that in Annularia mierophylla Sauveur the leaves are 

 sickle-shaped and much narrower in proportion to their length than those of Annularia 

 galioides L. & H., sp. 



Annularia mierophylla Sauveur does not occur in this coal field, so a description 

 of that plant is given in an Appendix to this paper, along with figures for comparison 

 with Annularia galioides L. & H. 



All the plants which in the past I have recorded under the name of Annularia 

 galioides do, however, belong to that species, which is not common in the South 

 Staffordshire Coal Field.
