In comparing the first part of the list of the species in this 
collection with the fossil plants from the Calciferons Sandstone Series 
in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, their similarity will be at once 
apparent. 
This is remarkable when viewed in relation to the fish and 
crustacean remains which have been already described from Eskdale 
and Liddesdale by Dr. R. H. Traquair, and Mr. B. JST. Peach, which, 
as far as at present known, are mostly peculiar to these districts. 
This points to some local physical conditions, which, though 
favourable for the growth of plants widely distributed in other 
parts of Scotland, seem to have favoured the existence of a fauna 
peculiar to itself. 
P.S. 28th July 1882. — Since compiling the above list, a few 
more specimens have been handed to me for examination. Among 
them were the two following, which must now be added : — 
Algze. 
34. Cli07idrites Targionii , Brong. 
iNCERTiE SEDIS. 
35. Pothocites , sp.
