Previous to 1858, the Northumberland and Durham Coalfield was considered to be destitute of any fauna other than the usual non-marine type. In 1858, J. W. Kirkby gave the first indication of marine fossils in this coalfield. He obtained specimens of Lingula credneri (Geinitz) from shales some 17 feet above the Five-Quarter seam during the sinking of a shaft at Ryhope, 3 miles south of Sunderland (9). Some of these specimens are figured by T. Davidson (2).

The fossils of the Coal Measures of South Wales have probably not been studied so systematically or for so many years as those of certain coalfields of he north of England, and it is only within recent years that any marked progress has been made in their investigation; this is especially true of the marine fossils.

The paucity of animal remains in the Coal-measures of Somerset has been recognized for many years. More recently Dr. H. Bolton has described fossils from various horizons in the coalfield, but his records relate chiefly to insects and marine fossils, while non-marine Lamellibranchs appear to be unusually rare at most horizons. A number of species of non-marine Lamellibranchs have been recorded by various authors, but in view of the wide interpretation formerly given to the various species, many of these records cannot be used for zonal purposes.

Up to the present marine fossils have been recorded in Middle Coal-measures in the South Lancashire Coal-field at two horizons only. They are (1) in the banks of the Tame, near Ashtonunder-Lyne, found by Professor A. H. Green, and at Ashton Moss Colliery, about 750 feet above the Great Mine, discovered by the late George Wild. (2) Mr. H. Bolton, F.R.S.E., informs me that the Californian or Thin Bed of Fulledge Colliery, Burnley, which is 410 feet above the Arley Mine, is a marine horizon.

In many coalfields in the zone of Anthracomya pulchra and Carbonicola similis there is a marine band, viz. Mansfield, Yorkshire; Dukinfield, S.E. Lancashire; The Gin Mine, North Staffordshire; Rimbert, North of France; but, apart from a doubtful Lingula from the roof of the Brassy coal at Bersham Colliery, no marine fossils have previously been recorded from undisputed Coal Measures of the Denbighshire Coalfield.
