There are some exceptions, iuch as Darrah's (1969) monograph on the Mazon Creek ilant fossils, and some useful records by Gillespie et al. 1975), Gillespie & Pfefferkorn (1976), Gillespie & Crawford 1985) and Gillespie & Rheams (1985). These indeed suggest i close similarity to the European assemblages. However, on heir own they are not really sufficient to allow a comprehen- ive assessment of the North American records, which is why hey were not incorporated into the analysis presented in the 'resent paper (for a further review of the North American ecords, see Pfefferkorn & Gillespie 1980). The western part of North America in the Carboniferous as been assigned to two separate phytochoria, which may be jferred to as the Cordillera Palaeoarea of the mid-west ates and the Oregon Palaeoarea of the Pacific coastal area pfefferkorn & Gillespie 1980, Cleal & Thomas in Cleal 391). No neuropteroids have been reported from the Tegon Palaeoarea. The Cordillera Palaeoarea is very poorly acumented, with the sole exception of the plant fossils from the Manning Canyon Shale (Tidwell 1967). Of Tidwell's records, the most significant is of Neuropteris cf. pocahontas White, which is undoubtedly a neuralethopterid similar to N. schlehanii. However, his record of 'Neuropteris' gigantea is undoubtedly incorrect (at least one pinnule in the figured specimen has a basiscopic lobe - it may in fact be an elongate neuralethopterid) and his 'Neuropteris' ampe
