Other fossil cones were compared withthe Equisetum, or horse-tails, to which they are allied in ferns found in the coal-measures were then described, and alluded to his discovery of a specimen exhibiting thepeculiar structure of the fruit. The fossil ferns were compared withthe modern Polypody and the Tunbridge filmy fern. In conclusion,the lecturer gave an account of a fern found by Professor EdwardForbes in the Devonian rocks of Ireland, which agrees exactly withliving ferns. The address of Mr. Carruthers was throughout listened to with theclosest attention; and at its close the audience displayed great interestin the various objects illustrative of the subject, which were arrangedsystematically and exhibited under the microscopes of the members.
