P, confer- voides is the only one of them that can be found everywhere in the coal measures. The thread like shining lines are in great abundance on the anthracite roof slates of Pennsylvania, and equally abundant in the English and French coals ; from a hairs- to one sixteenth inch wide, piled over each other; tubular; never fattened; no trace of joints, or branches, and there fore not confervce; sometimes in the very coal itself; true roots of either the creep- ing or rooting ferns.
