Geology; Geology, Stratigraphic; Paleontology; Geology, Economic; Géologie; Géologie stratigraphique; Paléontologie; Géologie économique. 522 TUB nEVONIAN Plant-bed No. 8 1 foot 10 inches. Fine-grained, tough, but fissile sandstones, rather coarse shales, often of a greenish cast, and at the top a thin hiyer of very black shale very rich in plants. The middle portion does not contain so many plant remains, but the lower is as well stocked as the leaves of a her- barium. The following are the fossils I have collected from it:— Cordaites Rabbit, Daws. As usual in great profusion, and in very fine specimens,—C, transilionis^ Goeppt. Occasional.— C cannceformis, Brongn.—(?) AsterophylUtes acicularis, Daws. Quite common, together with one or two other species apparently new, which occur also in Bed 7.—Annularia acuminata, Daws. Extremely common, especially in certain layers.—Pinnularia dispalans, Daws. Abundant.—(?) Lyco- podites Matthewi, Daws. Rare.—Cyclopteris obtusa, Lesqx.— Cyclopteris, sp. nov.—Neuropteris polymorpha, Daws. Quite frequent in detached pinnules.—Hymenophyllites subfurcatus, Daws. Very common.—Pccopteris (Alethop.) discrepans, Daws. This is the most abundant fern in this bed. It occurs usually in detached pinnules, though not unfrequently in considerable fronds.—Pecopteris [Alethop.). Besides the above, there are three or four other species, some of which occur also in Beds 6 and 7.—Cardiocarpum cornutum, Daws. Not very common.—C. obliquum, Daws. Also not very common.—C. Crampii, Hartt. Quite common.—Several other species of plants not yet determined.—Insects. Two species, two specimens. One was obtained by my friend, Mr James Hegan. Sandstones and coarse shales, with badly preserved Cordaites Mobbii, Daws., C. transitionis, Goeppt., and Pecopteris (A.) dis- crepans ......... 26 feet. Fine-grained, l
