[Cook, Malcolm]
Indeed, thanks, and, my worked out example follows using emacs 2.18.9 and
org-mode version 8.0.6
#+LATEX: \listoftables
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{longtable}
#+name: longtabletest
#+CAPTION: test of longtable caption
#+begin_src R :results value :colnames yes
data.frame(num=1:260,alpha=rep(LETTERS,10))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+attr_latex: :environment longtable
| num | alpha |
|-----+-------|
| 1 | A |
| 2 | B |
