It is extremely doubtful if this is correctly identitied, as the speci- 

 men upon whicH it is based is very poor, Vjut as no other example has 

 been found it may remain a.s above. Little weight should be attached 

 to it, however. 



Local/'ty.—Yan Horn's ranch, about 12 miles west of Mount Vernon, 

 (jrant County, Oregon. Collected b}^ Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. 

 Nat. Mus., No. 2594). 



Salix varians Goppert.

I regard thi.s identification as more or less doubtful. It is smaller 

 than the usual form of this species, although similar in size and 

 appearance to a leaf so determined by Heer" from Alaska. It is the 

 only example found.

Salix angusta A1. Br. 

 Salix angusta A1. Br. Lesquereux, Cret. and Tert. Fl., p. 247, PI. LV, fig. 6, 1883. 



These are two narrow^ leaves that agree closely with the smaller 

 figures given by Lesquereux as above quoted. The locality is stated 

 to be " Oldfield claim, Oregon," but I have been unable to further 

 identify the place. The type specimen is preserved in the paleonto- 

 logical collection of the University of California (No. 1963), and the 

 leaves under consideration appear to be the same as the leaves from 

 this unknown localit}' in Oregon. It does not follow, however, that 

 they should be regarded as identical with all leaves that have been 

 referred to this species from other localities.
