Fniit <i-lobose, 3 oontiiui'tivs in diamotcr. Suiracc polished and sliiniiii:. with di'iise 

 thin ooaly outer coat, marked with crowded pore.s or dots, from w liiili are i^iveii oil in a 

 radiatinir manner nnmerons Hat linear processes 4 to 5 centimetres in leniit limid :'. millimetres 

 wide, and minutelv dentate at their ed£>vs. I can only conjecture that this rciuarkahle object 

 is a compound i'ruit perhaps of some cycatlaceous plant, I'overed with bracts or rudimentary 

 leaves. Figures 3a and 3b show the processes and pores magnified. 



Fig. 3bis represents a pinnularia-like plant found in the siiinc 1)C(1 wilh the last species ; 

 but whether connected with it in any way does not appear.

4. Glyptostrobus oracili.imus, Lesquereux, Cret. Flora, p. 52, Ft. I. 



The matrix holding this species is coarse, so that the details are not very clear ; Inxt the 

 study of a number of specimens leaves no doubt that they are identical with the species 

 above named from Nebraska. Though placed ])y Ijcsqucreux in (lli/iilnalnihin^. he icmarks on 

 its reseml)lance to Freneliu. and more especially to Fret/r/i/r^ Ri-iiliii. of I'lllin'jhaiiscn. iVom

5. Sequoia Eeiciienbachit, Heer. 



This species is represented by a few brauchlets from the Peace River ; but further south 

 it is found in great abundance in the roof of a coal worked on Belly River. In ironstone 

 concretions in neighboring beds, brauchlets of the same species occur, alotig with fossil wood 

 of the type of that of Seqiwia <j;iga)itea, but with more slender fibres and shorter medullary 

 rays, and not improbably belonging to the present species. Along with it are shells of 

 Inoceramus.

6. TORREIA DICKSONIOIDES S. N. (Fig. 4.) 



A few leafy branches, seen in the Peace River collections, which are near to T. Dicksonii 

 as described by Heer from Grreenland specimens ; but the leaves are more decurrent on the 

 stem, and more obtuse. They are also very thick, and transversely wrinkled.

7. Ficus MAxiaLi, S. N. (Fig. 5.) 



Fragments of a large leaf, 8 centimetres broad and probably 24 in length, with rough 

 surface and strongly marked veins ; margin slightly crenate, narrowing abruptly to the 

 petiole. Only the lower part of this interesting leaf is seen in the specimens collected. I 

 refer it to Fkus because of the venation ; but this has also some resemblance to that o{'Juglnns ; 

 and more perfect specimens are required to give certainty to the reference above.

8. Fagus proto-nucifera. S. N. (Fig. fi, fia.) 



Leaf oval, of moderate size, pointed at base, veins straight, at angle of 35° to 40", margin 

 entire ? Nut small, sharply mucronate, rounded triang^^lar. This species is very near to the 

 modern Fugusferruginea, though the h-af is a little more acute at liase, and may have been
