Abstract
More than twenty-three years have now passed since Dr. Kidston published his memoir on the fossil flora of the Somerset and Bristol Coal-field, and in the meanwhile no further additions to our knowledge have been made. Kidston's paper was chiefly concerned with the plant-remains of the southern or Radstock portion of the basin. Those from the northern or Bristol area have only been studied incidentally. This would seem quite natural on account of the greater size and industrial importance of the Radstock Coal Series, and from the fact that this locality has been long known to yield the finest and best preserved impressions of fossil plants to be found in any coal-field in the British Isles. The collieries in the Bristol district are comparatively few and smaller, fossil plants being much scareer and less well preserved.
