The collection is larger than that made by Messrs. Stanton, Diller, and 

 Storrs, but does not add many new species. The impressions, like those of 

 Messrs. Stanton and Diller, are very fragmentary and poorly preserved, 

 so that it is very difficult to make satisfactory determinations. This is 

 especially true of some of the ferns. Many of these are represented by 

 small fragments, and in a number of cases these bits may belong to any 

 one of several species. 



The third parcel contains six specimens collected by Messrs. T. A\'. 

 Stanton and Will Q. Brown, in 1890, near Riddles, Oreg., from strata 

 in Cow Creek Valley that are, in Mr. Diller's opinion, probably of Horse- 

 town age. 



These specimens are much better preserved than most of those from 

 the California localities. They indicate that the plants furnishing them 

 grew on some spot near where they are now found, so that they did not 

 float far l^efore thev were bm-ied in sediment." 



" Besides the.se principal collections these notes include the descriptions of the several scattered spcciiiicns 

 from the Shasta formation in Oregon and California that have come in since the large collections were made, 

 and which have been noted in the historical part of this paper (see pp. 211, 217). The localities are there 

 fully given and will be recognized without being numbered. 



I have included in the synonymy of the species de.scribed in this report all the names thiit hud previously 

 been publi.slied by Mr. Diller and Doctor .Stanton (see pp. 212, 21.3), whether subsequently changed by I'm- 

 fessor Fontaine or not. Tbev will thus be easily identified. — L. F. W.
