1115. Patton, R. T. Notes on eucaljrpt leaves occurring in the tertiary beds at Bulla. 

 Proc. Roy. See. Victoria 31 (N. S.) : 362-363. 1919. — Fossilleaves were found in fine muclstone 

 deposited along the banks of the stream beneath the newer basalt. They were among other 

 leaves and lycopodinaceous casts and casts of crushed stems. The material was not sufficient 

 for positive identification. All leaf specimens were of one general type: moderately broad, 

 lanceolate, and slightly falcate; with marginal vein moderatelj"^ rem.ovcd from edge, slightly 

 indented; with lateral veins diverging at an angle of 50°, and margin fading into petiole. 

 Leaves are beyond earliest stage of eucalypt evolution and show resemblances to E. rostrata.—

1116. Raineri, R. Alghe fossili corallinacee della Libia. [Some fossil Corallinaceae 

 from Libya.] Atti della Soc. Ttal. Sci. Nat. e del Museo Civico Milano. 59: 137. 1920.— The 

 author calls attention to the abundant algal flora preserved in the Upper Cretaceous, Ceno- 

 manian, and Turonian stages in the territories of Homs and Cussabat in northern Tripoli. 

 The following forms are recorded from Africa for the first time: Archeolithoihamniwn turoni- 

 cuni Rothpletz, A. aff. gosaviense Rothpletz, A. Paronai n. sp., Lithothamnium amphiroae- 

 fonnis Rothpletz, Lithothamnium or Corollina sp. indet., Amphiroa Mottiroliana n. sp., and 

 Arthrocardia cretacica n. sp. This is the first record of the genera Amphiroa and Arthrocardia 

 in the Cretaceous, neither having been heretofore known in deposits earlier than the Tertiary.

 1920. — Tufaceous concretions in the southern Black Hills and near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, 

 are thought to mark the receding shores of Cretaceous lakes, and these concretions are thought 

 to be indicative of algal activity. — E. W. Berry.
