Note 94 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
These trees still remain in situ, and, thanks to the scientific zeal of Mr. Hawkshaw, have been carefully preserved. They are situated at Dixon Fold, Clifton, near Manchester. Instructive models of these highly interesting relics of the carboniferous forests may be obtained.
An excellent Memoir on this discovery, with illustrations, by Mr. Hawkshaw, is given in Geol. Trans, vol. vi. pl. xvii. See Pict. Atlas, p. 198; and Petrifactions, p. 36.
