 lected by T. W. Stanton, 1893. 



Although the number of localities from which these plants were col- 

 lected is considerable, the amount of material showing plant fossils that 

 can he identified is small and the impressions are very fragmentary and 

 obscure. This is to be expected, as the beds containing them are marine 

 and show the remains of marine mollusks, such as Aucella, etc. They were 

 probably deposits laid down at some distance from the land and plants 

 contained in them must have drifted far and suffered much. The recog- 

 nizable impressions fill only a small box. 



In the fall of 1895 Prof. Lester F. Ward visited the region in which 

 these localities occur, with the hope that persistent search would disclose 

 better specimens. He was aided by Mr. Storrs, and under his guidance 

 was enabled to make additional collections from some of the localities 

 named in the preceding list. In some cases, where the exact localitj^ was 

 not certainly identified, collections were made from nearly the same spot. 

 Two new localities were found. Messrs. Ward and Storrs collected from 

 localities Nos. 1, 4, 9, and 14 of the Stanton-Diller list, and from the follow- 

 ing that were not certainly identified as the same with those of that list. 

 These I will, for convenience of referen(!e, number consecutively with the 

 Stanton-Diller list. The descriptions are those given bj' Professor Ward. 



Locality No. 15. — Near the same locality as No. 4, only farther up Byron Gulch, 

 above the cascade, probably about the same as No. 5. 



Locality No. 16. — One-fourth of a mile below the mouth of Eagle Creek, left 

 bank of the North Fork of Cottonwood Creek, near Ono, Shasta County, Cal. Prob- 

 ably nearly the same as No. 2.
