will include Mr. A. E. Hart’s valuable Report on Yorkshire
Lepidoptera observed in 1891, and a continuation of Messrs. W.
NELSON and JOHN W. TayLor’s Annotated List of the Land
and Freshwater Mollusca known to inhabit Yorkshire.

PROPOSED DOUBLING OF MEMBERSHIP.

The Members are reminded of the effort which is now being
made to double the total number of members. The progress of
the works which the Union has in hand for publication, including
Baker’s North Yorkshire, Kidston’s. Reports on the Yorkshire
Carboniferous Flora, Hey's List of Yorkshire Coleoptera, Clarke’s
List of Yorkshire Birds, Nelson and Taylor’s List of Yorkshire
Land and Freshwater Mollusca, is delayed by the want of funds

available for the purpose.

A general co-operation of those who are already members and
who would use their influence with friends, would enable the
membership to be doubled at once with ease, but it is necessary
that such co-operation be prompt and general The Secretaries

will gladly furnish circulars and forms of nomination.

SECOND REPORT

ON BEHALF OF THE YORKSHIRE FossiL FLORA COMMITTER,

FOR 1890.

ROBERT RIDSTON, FRSE, DES

SINCE giving in the last Report, at the Hull Meeting, in
November, 1889, I have to note the occurrence of ten species
not previously known to occur in Yorkshire, and of these some
are new to Britain. ‘They have all been collected by Mr. W.
Hemingway, to whom, for his continued successful labours, the
Committee owe so much for their knowledge of the Yorkshire
Carboniferous Flora. In addition to the records of the species
new to Yorkshire, Mr. Hemingway has added many new
localities for those already recorded.

The Committee are also indebted to Mr. James Spencer,
Halifax, whose collection has afforded several new /oca/ifies for
species included in the first Report.

In addition to the records in this Report, there are still
some specimens awaiting further examination which, owing to
several circumstances, must be held over. In some cases these
species have been excluded meanwhile, awaiting the oppor-
tunity of comparing them with authentic specimens of the
species to which they are believed to belong.

For the assistance given by Mr. Spencer and Mr. Heming-
way the Committee return their hearty thanks.

The Committee again take this opportunity of appealing
to Yorkshire Geologists for assistance in carrying on their
investigations. —

punctatum L, & H.; Sigillaria polyploca Boulay; Sig. sad
Brongt. ; Sig. reniformis Brongt.; Sig. levigata Brongt. ; and
Sig. tenuis Achepohl. Of these, Paleostachya elongata, Sph.
Jacquoti, and Sph. rotundifolia are new to Britain, and though
I have previously met with ‚Sig. polyploca and Sig. tenuis in
Britain, they are not included in any published list. With the
exception of one record from Mr. Spencer, we are indebted to
Mr. W. Hemingway for all the other records contained in this
Report.

It is much to be regretted that a greater number of the
Yorkshire geologists do not take more interest in the collection
of the coal plants. At present sinking operations are being
carried on and new pits opened out in several localities. When

these operations are completed we may expect a period of less
activity in this direction, and it is very much to be regretted if
full advantage of the present favourable opportunities for
increasing the knowledge of the coal flora be allowed to slip.
In addition to the new pits being sunk in the neighbourhood
of Barnsley, I believe one is to be put down shortly in the
Doncaster district, and others at Rotherham and near Feather-
stone."

Should full advantage be taken of the present opportunities
of securing fossil plants from the Yorkshire coal field, there is
little doubt that the next Report will contain many records of

great interest.

THE CARBONIFEROUS FLORA OF
YORKSHIRE.

FOURTH REPORT
ON BEHALF OF THE YORKSHIRE FOSSIL. FLORA COMMITTEE
FOR 1892.

ROBERT KIDSTON FRSE, FGS

The fourth Report ofthe Yorkshire Fossil Flora Committee,
which I have now the pleasure of presenting, contains records
of eleven species which are new to the Yorkshire Coal Field,
and one variety of a previously recorded species.

These are,— Zgudsełum hemingwayi, Sphenopteris dilatata,

bhenopteris furcata, Hymenotheca dathei (recorded in first
Report as Sphenopteris sp., allied to furcata), Lepidodendron
lycopodioides, Sigillaria rugosa, Sigillaria elongata, Dorycordaites
palmeformis, Cardiocarpus cordai, Cardiocarpus Ruitans, Car-
Polithus ovoideus, and Calamitina varians var. insignis.

Lepidodendron dichotomum, previously recorded, must be
deleted from the Yorkshire Fossil Flora, as I now find that all
the stems placed under that name in the first Report belong to
Lepidodendron lycopodioides. — Odontopteris binervosa Achep.
must also be removed from the list of Yorkshire species, as it
is now found to be only the upper portion of the frond or
pinnæ of Neuropteris obligua Brongt. sp.

With the exception of three records, one each from Messrs.
Davis, Spencer, and Gelder, all the others in the present Report
result from the labours of Mr. Hemingway. In the previous
Reports I have referred to the opportunities for collecting fossil
plants which are being allowed to slip, and in this one the same
remark must be again made. From an interview I had this

G

summer with the Committee’s Secretary, Mr. Cash, there is
good reason to believé that in the Halifax area some greater
activity will be taken in collecting fossil plants in the near
future, but, in many districts of Yorkshire, where fossil plant
collecting could be prosecuted with undoubted success, nothing
at all is being done at present.

There still remain a few specimens which I have not yet
been able to satisfactorily determine, and most of these await
the discovery of better preserved examples.

A complete list of the species contained in these Reports is
appended to this one, as it will serve both as a synopsis of all the
Yorkshire species as far as is at present known, and at the
same time form an /ndex to the four Reports.

In conclusion, the Committee have again to thank all
those who have assisted them in carrying on these investiga-

tions.

YORKSHIRE NATURA LISTS’ UNION.

REMARKS.-—Zeiller (Flore foss. d. bassin houil d.
Valen., p. 339) has suggested, on account of the
apparent periodic occurrence of the branch scars on
Calamites undulatus, that it might perhaps belong to
Weiss’ Calamitina, but not having sufficiently perfect
specimens to determine the number of intervening branch-
less nodes, he retained the species in Calamites. Speci-
mens received from Mr. Hemingway confirm M. Zeiller's
opinion. These examples show that the number of
branchless nodes which intervene between those bearing
branches, is very irregular. One specimen where two
nodes bearing branches are preserved shews that between
the branch-bearing nodes, only two branchless nodes occur.
On another specimen, after a branch-bearing node, eight
nodes occur without any trace of branches, and in a third
case nine branchless nodes are shown without the occur-
rence of a second branch-bearing node. Sometimes the
internodes succeeding a branch-bearing node are much
shortened, in other cases their length is about equal to the
other intervening branchless internodes.

Another point which shews Calamitina to be the true
place for Calamites undulatus is its possessing a smooth
outer surface as evidenced by a portion ofthe bark possess-
ing Calamitina characters still attached to one of the casts

of Calamites undulatus.

REMARKS. —Although many specimens from the Coal
Measures have been described as Equisetites, there is little
evidence to show that they had any real relationship to the
Æquisetaceæ. It was therefore only on the description
of Lguisetum monyi by MM. Renault and Zeiller (Comptes
Rendus, Paris, January 5, 1885) from the Comentry Coal
Field, that the genus Zywisetum was determined to occur
in carboniferous times. Their specimen consists of a
portion of a stem. (See figure in Etudes sur le terr. houil.
d. Comentry, Flore fossile, part IL, p. 394, pl Vil, fig. 7,
1890).

On several occasions I had received from Mr. Hem-
ingway specimens of a small fossil, but which, owing to the
imperfection of the earlier material submitted to me, I
could not determine. Eventually, Mr. Hemingway was
successful in discovering very perfect specimens of the
small Equisetaceous cone, which in the early part of this
year I described and figured as Zywisetum hemingwayi.
This is one of the most interesting additions to the British

YORKSHIRE NATURA LISTS? UNION.

Coal Flora which has been made for many years, for these
cones, taken in conjunction with the discovery of the stem
in France, conclusively carry back the genus Equisetum
to carboniferous times.

The French specimen came from the Upper Coal
Measures, whereas the Yorkshire specimens are from the
Middle Coal Measures.

REMARKS.—An examination of a larger number of
specimens of the fern I originally placed under Sphen.
spinosa Gópp., has shewn me that the identification of
the fossils as such is an error. ‘The Yorkshire fern is
similar to that figured by Sauveur, on his pl. xx, figs. 1—2
(not fig. 3) as Sphenopteris artemisiefolia, from which

| species, however, his plant is essentially distinct. Zeiller
unites these two figures of Sauveurs Sphenopteris arte-
misiefolia, along with the Sphenopteris stricta Sauveur (not
| Sternb.) under Crépin’s Sphenopteris artemisiefolioides,
| (Zeiller, Flore foss. d. bassin houil. d. Valen., p. 132). I
have not been able to consult the original work in which
| Crépin first proposed the name of Sphenopterts artemisic-
folioides and therefore do not know what synonymy he gave
for his species in Mourion, Géol. de la Belgique, vol. ii.,
p. 60, as quoted by Zeiller.
À I have a specimen of ‚Sphenopteris artemisiefolioides
| which I received from Mons. Crépin a few years ago, and
do not think it possible to unite with it Sauveur's figures
1—2 of Sphenopteris artemisiefolia, though I have no doubt
| Sphenopteris stricta Sauveur (not Sternb.) is the same as
| Crépin's Sphenopteris artemisiæfolioides. 1 have, therefore,
proposed the name of spiniformis for the plant figured by

YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION.

Sauveur (pl. xx., figs. 1—2, not fig. 3), as the pinnæ, and
frequently the pinnules, end in spine-like points, from
which character I originally referred the species to Sphen-
opteris spinosa Gopp.

Owing to the indistinctness of his figure and the ab-
sence of description and details of the pinnule cutting and
nervation, I cannot determine whether or not Stur’s Arche-
opteris sauveuri (Stur, Carbon Flora, Schatz. Schicht. Die
Farne, pl. xxxv., fig. 2, 1885, without description) should be
placed here. But as his plant is evidently not an Arche-
opteris, but a Sphenopteris, and as there is already a
Sphenopteris sauveuri Crépin (Bull. Soc. Roy. de Belgique,
vol. xix., part ii., p. 17) a new specific name is necessary
in any case.

Brongt. (Flore foss. d. bassin houil. d. Valen., p. 94, pl. iv.,
figs. 2—3), Renaultia footnert must be united with that
fern. Brongniart’s type of Sph. gracilis (Hist. d. vćgćt.
foss., p. 197, pl. liv., fig. 2) came from near Newcastle-on-
Tyne, and I incline to the union of the two species, but
the subject requires to be further looked into.

Schimper (Traité d. paléont. végét., vol. i., p. 415, pl. xxviii.,
figs 4—7). The enlargements as given by Schimper
are inaccurate, and in regard to these it has already been
pointed out that the fossil could not be placed in the recent
genus Hymenophyllum as proposed by Schimper. (See
Kidston, Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow, vol. ix., p. 14, 1891).

It has been founded on the upper portion of a pinna,
on which the pinnules are united by the whole breadth
of their base, a constant character on the uppermost por-
tions of the pinnæ of Veuropterís, though it is, perhaps,
more marked in this species of the genus than in most of
the other members.

REMARKS.—A careful examination of the Coal Mea-
sure Lepidodendra since the first Report was handed in,
has shewn me that the specimens placed under LZepido-
dendron dichotomum in my first Report are referable to
Lepidodendron lycopodioides Sternb. Since the first Report
was completed, I have elsewhere stated my difficulty in
ascertaining the critical characters for the identification of
Lepidodendron dichotomum Sternb. (in part), (= Lepido-
dendron sternbergit Brongt.) (See Proc. Roy. Phys. Soc.
Edin., vol. x., p. 350, 1891.)

Zeiller figures a Zepidodendron which he believes to
be the Zepidodendron dichotomum of Sternberg (Veget.
foss. d. terr. houil., p. 107, pl. clxxii., fig. r; Flore foss. d.
bassia houd d. Valen. 5 449, DL. Dum e, 1) This
plant I know, and it occurs in Britain, but it is very rare,
and hitherto I have only seen it in the Upper Coal Mea-
sures, and with it none of the Yorkshire examples agree.
Should Zeiller be right in the identification of his speci-
mens, the specific position of Lepidodendron dichotomum
would be very clear, but I am doubtful of the correctness
of the identification of his specimens with Sternberg’s
species, and I do not think that the figure given by Presl
(in Sternberg., Vers. ii, p. 177; pl. Ixviii, fig. 1) at all
settles the point, for, firstly, I am not aware on what
grounds Presl so identifies his specimen, which appears to
me different from Sternberg’s somewhat unsatisfactory

original figures; and, secondly, his (Presl's) fig. 1 is much
more like a Zepidophloios than a Lepidodendron, and it is
difficult to understand how the figure 1, if correctly drawn,
could afford data for the enlarged figures 1*.

CORDAITEE.
CORDAITES UNGER.
The Cordaites have been divided into four groups :—

I.—CORDAITES (or EUCORDAITES).

II.—DORYCORDAITES.
III. —POACORDAITES.
IV.—SCUTOCORDAITES.

The first three divisions were proposed by Grand'Eury,
(Flore Carbon. du Départ. dela Loire, etc., pp. 208, 214, 222,
1877), and the last was founded by Renault and Zeiller (Comptes
Rendus, 23 Maich, 1885; see also Flore foss. terr. houil. de
Comentry, p. 603, 1890). Of these, only the two first groups

have been found in Yorkshire, which are distinguished as
| follows :—

1.—Cordaites. Leaves simple, sessile, entire, lanceolate,
rounded at the summit, spathulate, obovate or elliptical,
generally very large, twenty to ninety centimetres long,
coriaceous, veins parallel, fine, equal or unequal, and
| running throughout the whole length of the leaf.

II.—Dorycordaites. Leaves simple, sessile, entire, lanceolate,
slender, forty to fifty centimetres long, veins equal,
numerous and distinct, and running throughout the whole
length of the leaf; apex of leaf always terminating in a
point (not rounded as in Group 1.).

118 YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS UNION.

Owing to the manner in which the leaves split up at the
apex it is seldom that the leaf extremities are found in such
a condition as to show their perfect outline.

NOTES FOR GUIDANCE in working out the
Vertical and Horizontal distribution of the

British Carboniferous Flora.

I.—As soon after collection as possible, label all specimens,

stating—

(a) Full locality, giving name of pit, if collected at a colliery.
(2) Giving horizon,* when ascertainable.
(c) Name of collector.

TI.— Collect all specimens, however small or uninteresting they
may appear to be, and give great care to the collection of
all fructifications—even when fragmentary—whether cones
or fruit of ferns.

IIT.—On no account varnish the specimens, and if absolutely
necessary to apply some preservative medium, use very
weak, watery glue, and apply it by ‘dabbing’ gently with a
soft sponge. It need hardly be added that all fingering of
the surface of the specimen, or rubbing of any kind, ought
to be avoided.

On collecting, wrap the fossils up singly in paper at
once to prevent their being scratched or the carbon dis-
placed while carrying them home. In mending broken
specimens, gently heat each part before applying the glue.

IV.—In packing fossils for transit, wrap each separately in
paper and pack with additional paper, straw, hay, or shav-
ings in a strong box. Jever use sawdust, husks, or any
similar substance for packing.

V.—All specimens sent to me for examination to be numbered
and accompanied with a list containing the numbers,
localities, and any other additional particulars that may
be thought necessary. Attention to this saves time and
trouble to all parties. ROBERT KIDSTON.

24, VICTORIA PLACE,
STIRLING.

* ‘Horizon,’ 7.e., the name of the coal seam with which the shale was associated that con-
tained the fossil, or any other particulars that will enable the exact position of the
rock to be determined from which the fossil has been derived.
