larger loaf is lotii in liaif l()ii<iit lulinaliy, and tiic smaller one shows the 

 basal pait neaily coinplete. The larfjer leaf <j;ives tlie shape l)est, and 

 hence (his will he taken for description, it is 'An nun. lonti, ohlonti in 

 form, and tends to assume a (lahellate sh;ipe. ll narrows slijihtly towai'd 

 the base and was attached by the middle point of the base, which was 

 slifihtly auriculatc. It is widest ne.ar the end, whiMi is i-ounded off very 

 obtusely. Tt was probably 25 mm. wide neai' the end. The n(M'ves are 

 very fine and closely placed. They (livei'<i;e fi'om the inscM'tion of lh(> base 

 and fork I'cpeatedly, so as to fill the lamina of the leaf. In form and size 

 th(> leaves resemble those of Oldzninilcs Kli/).'<t(i)ii sii/x flxi Sew., fi'om th(> 

 W'ealden of Enjiland. They most resemble tho.se of the form figured on 

 pi. vii, fig. 0, of Seward's Wealden Flora, Pt. II, but the leaves now in 

 question narrow more toward the Ijase. 



Taxites zAMiouiES (L('(k(nil)y ) Seward." 

 PI. XXXVm, FIrs. 15- is. 



The principal specimen regarded as representing Taxites zamioides w 

 a small bit of a twig with the bases of several leaves attached to it. 

 Enough of the leaf is preserved to show a very close agreement with the 

 T. zamioides of the Lower Oolite of Yorkshire, England. On some of the 

 specimens several detached leaves occur that are nearly entire, and which 

 agree well with those of this conifer. This conifer occurs at some of the 

 .lui'assic localities in the vicinity of Buck Mountain, Oregon, not rarely, 

 and has been described by the writer in this paper. This is shown natural 

 size in PI. XXXVIII, Fig. 15, and enlarged in Fig. 16. A single nearly 

 c(Hiiplete leaf found detached is represented in Fig. 17, and Fig. 18 show's 

 this enlarged. 



The above-described plants are all that can l)e made out with any 

 degi'ee of certainty in the collection from Curry County. They indicate 

 with a high degree of probability that the strata which yield them are of 

 the same age as the Jurassic strata of Douglas County in the vicinity of 

 Buck Mountain. The abimdant plant fossils of these beds show that they 

 are of Lower Oolite age.
