Deane, H., Notes on Fossil Leaves from the Tertiary 

 Deposits of Wingello and Bungonia. (Reeords Geo- 

 logical Survey N. S. Wales. Vol. VII. Part. II. 1902. 

 p. 59— 65. PI. XV— XVII.) 



Part I. deals with a small collection of leaves from Win- 

 gello, a few of which appear to be identical with those 

 described by Baron von Ettingsh au sen in his „Contri- 

 butions to the Tertiary Flora of Australia". The results of the 

 examination of these specimens do not support the latter's 

 „Cosmopolitan Tertiary Flora theory". Ettings hausen 's 

 Quercus Dampieri is believed to be identical with the living 

 Nephelium leiocarpum F. von M. (Sapindaceae). 



The following are new genera and species: 

 Psychotriphyllum atteniiatum , Nephelites equidentata, N. 

 ovata, Ar gophyllites levis, Corchorites crenulata, Cedrelophyllum 

 antiqua, Alnites latifolia, Litsaeophyllum wingellense. Another 

 new species is Fagus Pittmani. 



Part II. Three new species of leaves are described from 

 Bungonia. These are Nephelites denticulata, Persoonia pro- 

 pinqua and Drimys levifolia. 



All the new genera and species are figured, and figures 

 are also given of Fagus Benthami Ett., Cinnamomum Leich- 

 hardtii Ett., Podocarpus praecupressiformis Ett.

 Saint Lucia Bay Coalfield. Enseleni River, Zulu-

 and Zululand by W. Anderson. 190L p. 69—76. PI. XIII.) 



The plant-remains examined vvere fragmentary, and in a poor State 

 oi preservation. The species identified were Glossopteris Browniana 

 Brong. var. indica Bunb. and var. angustifolia Brong., G. damudica var. 

 stenoneura Feist., G. retifera Feist, (figured), and Angiopteridium spathu- 

 latuin Mc. Clell. A new species oi Phyllotheca, P. Zeilleri, is also 

 described and figured. The aspect of these fossils is compared with 

 that of the New castle Coal Measures in New South Wales.

Marty, P., The plant- bed of the Pass of La Mougudo 

 (near V i c-su r-Cere), Cantal. (Proc. Geologist's Asso- 

 ciation. Vol. XVII. 1902. p. 317—324. figs. 52—54.) 



The plant bed is a bed of cinerite, which cuts horizontally 

 through the andesitic breccia forming the face of the cliff, at a 

 height of 3000 ft. above sea level. Saporta has previously 

 described 57 species from this bed. This flora is compared 

 with that of Nias, from which 60 species are known. The 

 majority of the plants of La Mougudo cannot be exactly iden- 

 tified with their homologues of the existing flora, but the 

 slight differences which separate them are not suificiently im- 

 portant to be regarded as distinct specific characters. The 

 species fall naturally into three groups, from the point of view
