FOREST OF WYRE AND TITTERSTONE CLEE HILL COAL FIELDS. 1031 



Pecopteris Integra. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 392, pi. xxvii, fig. 15. 



From an examinati'on of this specimen I feel satisfied it is a somewhat decayed 

 example of Pec. Miltoni Artis sp. 



Mariopteris latifolia. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 386. 



This appears to me to be Mariopteris muricata Schl. sp. 



Sigillaria Utschneideri. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 398, pi. xxviii, fig. 18. 



On the specimen figured by Dr Arber the ribs are smooth, whereas on 

 Brongniart's type the whole of the interfoliar portion of the rib is characterised 

 by transverse bars or ridges. Dr Arber's specimen may therefore be specifically 

 distinct. 



Sigillaria elongata. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 386. 



This I believe to be Sigillaria rugosa Brongt. 



Sigillariostrobus nobilis Zeiller. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 399, pi. xxvi, figs. 1, 2, 4, 5. 

 Some of the bracts of the specimens of this cone shown me by Dr Arber exhibit 

 some fine cilia on their margins, and the same character is seen on some specimens 

 from Yorkshire collected by Mr Hemingway, which I also refer to this species. 

 These cilia are not mentioned in Zeiller's description, but are very delicate, and may 

 not have been preserved on his specimens. 



Samaropsis fiuitans. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 387. 



I am familiar with the small seed named Samaropsis fiuitans by Dr Arber, and 

 I believe in Britain it has been frequently identified as Dawson's species. I am, 

 however, very doubtful of its specific identity with Dawson's Samaropsis (Cardio- 

 carpum) fiuitans, nor does it seem to agree with those so named on the Continent. 

 I therefore for the present think it safer to simply name the Forest of Wyre 

 •example Samaropsis sp. 



Odontopteris Coemansi. 

 Arber, I.e., p. 388. 



This specimen is rather imperfectly preserved, but I think it is a fragment of a 



Sphenopteris. The pinnules show a distinct midrib with lateral veinlets, and 



therefore cannot be referred to the genus Odontopteris.
