areoles ; nervilles deep, close, parallel, cut by branches at right angles, forming 

 a square distinct areolation. 4 specimens. 



56. Ficus asarifolia, Ett. 1 specimen. 



57. Ficus Andrcei, sp. nov. Leaves subcoriaceous, long petioled, elliptical- 

 oblong, slightly emarginate at the rounded base, lanceolate above, crenulate on 

 th eborders ; palmately five-nerved ; lower lateral nerves with fewer branches 

 following the borders, the inner ascending the borders, near the apex some- 

 what incurved, much branched outside, camptodrome ; secondaries three pairs, 

 at a great distance from the base ; nervilles strong, at right angles to the 

 nerves. 



The leaf resembles in shape and size some of those of Populus Richardsoni, 

 Heer. It differs essentially by a strongly fibrillose nervation, the narrowly 

 oval oblong shape, not enlarged, but subcordate at base. The leaf broken at 

 apex is 8 cm. long, 5 broad in the middle. The preserved part of the petiole 

 is 2 cm. long. 4 specimens. 



58. Ficus auriculata, Lx. 8 specimens. 



59. Ficus suhtruncata, Lx. 4 specimens. 



60. Ficus spectabilis, Lx. 7 specimens. 



61. Ficus occidentaiis, Lx. 5 specimens. 



62. FiciLS irregularis, Lx. 2 specimens. 



63. Ficus protogea ? H. A fruit. 2 specimens. 



64. Ficus, species undeterminable. 4 specimens. 



65. Protoficus Zeilleri, sp. nov. Leaves of medium size, coriaceous, rugose on 

 the surface, enlarged and round-cordate at base, deltoid at the acute apex, pal- 

 mately three- or five-nerved from the top of the petiole; lateral nerves much 

 branched; borders crenulate. The leaves, deeply rugose by the impression of 

 strong nervilles, are 6 to 7 cm. long, 5 to 5^ cm. broad below the middle; pri- 

 mary nerves 3 or more, generally 5, the lower at a broad angle of divergence, 

 following the borders, the inner ascending in a curve somewhat inclined to 

 the midrib; secondaries two or three pairs at a great distance from the base. 

 The borders, mostly destroyed, are seen crenulate, at the few places where they 

 are preserved. 5 specimens.

67. Laurus primigenia, Ung. 4 specimens. 



68. Laurus Smidtiana, Heer, Fl. Shakal, p. 51, Plate XV. fig. 8. Leaves 

 petiolate, coriaceous, obovate, very entire; secondaries camptodrome, dissolved 

 in the reticulation. The fragments which I refer to this species are not quite 

 satisfactory for positive determination, though the outlines of the leaves, their 

 size and nervation, fully agree with the description and figures of the author. 

 The areolation is peculiar, composed of thin close nervilles, crossing the areas 

 at right angles to the midrib, or obliquely to the lateral nerves, as in some 

 species of Pyrus. But one of the leaves preserved nearly entire has the base
