162 BERRY— LOWER EOCENE FLORA OF [April 25. 



cies of Styria and Greece and 4 Miocene species of Baden, Styria, 

 Croatia and Hungary. To Embothriopsis Hollick a single species 

 from the Long Island Middle Cretaceous is referred. 



EmhothriophyUum is used by Dusen for a single species from the 

 supposed Oligocene of Graham Land. The genus Eiiibothritcs 

 Linger has a doubtful species in the Dakota Sandstone; six Oligo- 

 cene species in France, Tyrol, Styria, Carniola and Greece; and 3 

 Miocene species in Croatia and Bohemia. 



The genus Dryandra R. Brown has about 50 existing species in 

 Australia. The fossil forms have occasioned much discussion and 

 have been referred back and forth between this genus and Comptonia 

 and Myrica. The forms retained in Dryandra include a Cenomanian 

 species in Bohemia and Moravia ; an Eocene species in France ; two 

 Eocene species in Australia and an Oligocene species in Greece. The 

 allied forms referred to the genus Dryandroides Unger include 5 

 Upper Cretaceous species in Europe and North America ; an Eocene 

 species in Tasmania ; 4 Oligocene species in Italy, Tyrol, Saxony, 

 Styria and Greece ; and a Miocene species in Bohemia. 



The allied genus Banksia Linne fil., also confined to Australia in 

 the existing flora, has 7 Upper Cretaceous species — 4 Australian and 

 3 in the North Temperate zone, ten Eocene species, of which 7 are 

 Australian, i Alaskan ( ?) and 2 English ; twelve Oligocene species 

 widely distributed in Europe; 16 Miocene species equally widespread 

 in Europe; and a Pliocene species in Italy. Three especially well 

 marked species from the Wilcox have been referred to this genus. 



The allied genus Banksites Saporta has a Cenomanian species in 

 Bohemia and various Tertiary records from Europe hopelessly en- 

 tangled in the literature with Banksia, Dryandra and Dryandroides. 

 The genus Roiipala Aublet {Rhopala), whose peculiarly isolated out- 

 liers in Queensland and New Caledonia have already been mentioned, 

 is common in northern South America, extending northward to 

 Guatemala. Fossil forms are recorded from the Cenomanian of 

 Saxony, from the Eocene of Australia and from the Aquitanian of 

 Switzerland. In addition Saporta described a Rhopalospcrmitcs from 

 the lower Oligocene of France and a species of RhopalopJiyllum has 

 been described from the Upper Cretaceous of Australia and a second 

 from the Miocene of Styria.
