A flora of cuticle fragments obtained by maceration of the Bathonian coal of Brora is described together with some lycopod megaspores from the shale below the coal. All the species are known from the Bajocian or Bathonian of N. Yorkshire. Ptero-phyllum cycadites sp. nov. is described as new, the type being a Yorkshire specimen. The formation of the Brora coal is discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
