Excerpt from Catalogue of the Palaeozoic Plants: In the Department of Geology and Palaeontology, British Museum (Natural History) This Catalogue was commenced by Mr. Kidston in February, 1883 (nearly a year before the Gallery which contains the Fossil Plant Collection had been opened to the public). In order to prepare the present work the author first made a most careful examination of the entire collection of Palaeozoic plants in the Department, and provisionally named all the specimens which passed through his hands. He also visited and studied the collections of Mr. J. McMartrie at Radstock; those in the Museums of Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle; the Museum of Practical Geology, Jennyn Street, and many other public and private cabinets. He has further devoted much time in 1884-85, to collecting specimens of fossil plants from the classical localities in Gloucestershire, Somerset, Monmouthshire and elsewhere, in order to observe the mode of occurrence of the various coal-plants in situ. As a result Mr. Kidston has enriched the collection by the addition of nearly 250 valuable specimens. In this task he has been aided by the Royal Society's Government Grants Fund. The work of naming and cataloguing so large a collection has occupied a much longer time than was originally contemplated; but it is hoped that the Catalogue may prove useful to the student of Fossil Plants and be the means of stimulating other workers to take up a subject which offers to the enquirer so interesting a field of study and promises so large an opportunity for the development of original research.

Excerpt from Supplement to Catalogue of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Plants of North America, 1919-37 Knowlton's catalogue, in spite of its comprehensive title, did not include all North American fossil plants of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age then known. It specifically excluded those from Greenland and Mexico. The Central American Republics and the Antilles were not mentioned. Knowlton further excluded many thallophytes, such as marine and fresh-water Algae, as well as the Diatomaceae. He did, however, include Fungi and the Charophyta.
