Extract

AT certain levels in the Coal Measures of North Wales a flood of fish scales and bones occurs, to the exclusion of almost every other fossil; at others only an isolated scale or tooth is seen. The area appears to be especially rich in fish remains, though possibly this is due to inadequate collecting in other areas. A summary of the succession in the Flintshire and Denbighshire portions of the coalfield is shown in the diagram on p. 483, while the area dealt with is shown on the map (p. 482).
