APPENDIX. 



The following is a selection from a number of letters 

 forming part of the " Hutton MSS." Some of them 

 referring to drawings or specimens which are not to be 

 found may be to some extent unintelligible, but they are 

 printed here in the hope that their publication may cause 

 the discovery of such missing drawings or fossils. 



Letters from the late Prof. John Phillips, F.R.S., etc.

(iSfo date,) 



My dear Hutton, — As to these Stone Plants (fossilized Hazle), I 

 have intended to send you another bit, and will do so if you write to 

 say again and want it. Pray let this little vegetable beauty, from Wray, 

 in Lancashire, out of shale full of Posidonia, Groniates, etc., be figured ; 

 and if Lindley can prove it to be distinct from a young broom, or some- 

 thing of that sort, let it be so. I think it to be the greatest curiosity I 

 ever saw from the Millstone Grit series. Pray return it very safely. Why 

 do you talk of ending your Fossil Plants ? Johnston is going else I 

 would add more. 



Ever yours, etc., 

 (Signed) John Phillips.

Eemarks on Five Drawings of Fossil Plants, by John 

 Phillips, F.R.S., etc. 



(No date.) 



1. — These are all drawn by myself from specimens which I have ex- 

 amined carefully, in the collections of my friends or in my own cabinet. 

 The drawings are all of the natural size.
