H. Engelhardt: Cretaceous pla?iis from Saxo?iy.-^ 



Such authors as Brongniart, Sternberg, Brown, Geinitz and Goep- 

 pert have ah'eady described the cretaceous Ferns, Cycads and 

 Conifers from the locaHty near Freiberg, in Saxony, and Ettings- 

 hausen has treated the oldest dicotyledonous plants of the region in 

 his paper: " Die Kreideflora von Niederschona in Sachsen."t But 

 since the year 1867, nothing of importance has appeared upon this 

 subject. There is, however, in the Museum of the "Freiberg 

 Bergakademie " a considerable collection made by Reich, which 

 has been left partly unnamed, and it is upon this valuable material 

 that the author has based the present paper. It contains an enu- 

 meration of plants with several critical remarks, and following are 

 figured and described as new species: Pterophyllum Reichianum 

 ( Cycadece), Salix Schoentz, Triplaris cenomatiica ( Polygonece), 

 Sapotacites Stelzneri, Miimisops ballotceoides, ChrysopJiyllum Vele- 

 novskyi, Sapindiis saxotiicus, Steradia Gei?iitzi, Simaba saxonica 

 and Leguminosites ^retaceus. The collection embraces, also, several 

 very interesting types, and, although described before, we will note 

 the presence of such characteristic forms as: Delesseria Reichii, 

 Didyfnosoriis comptonicefolius, Seqtioia Reicheyibachii and S. minor, 

 DiosPyros primcEva and Liriodendron Meekii. 



C. T. Bartholin: Jurassic playits from Denmark.X 



The present paper contains an enumeration of fossil plants, mostly 

 collected by the author himself during his stay on the Danish island 

 Bornholm. They all belong to the Jurassic flora, and represent tlie 

 Equisetace<z, Marsiliacece and Filices. 



Sagenoptei'is Natliorsti is described and figured as new to the 

 science. The author with some doubt has referred to this genus 

 the fragments of some leaves which, if we consider the minute nerva- 

 tion, resemble somewhat the genus Atitrophyopsis. There has, also,
