Frond simple, widening u-radually from the base to near the apex, which is truncate 

 and sometimes lobcd. I^tMigth 10 centimetres, breadth about 3 centimetres. Texture 

 apparently thin and delicate. Veins slender, diverging at very acute angles, and forking 

 several timii-s. This is evidently a I'ern, l)ul of doubtful aifiuities. 



Collected by Dr. G. M. Dawson at Baynes' Sound. 



8. Pecopteris, S. N. 



Tri-pinnate, with small closely placed pinnules, bhintly pointed. Venation obscure. 

 Collected at Eaynes' Sound, by Ct. M. Dawson. 



9. A8PIDIU.^[ Kennerlii, Newberry, Boston Journal of Natural History, Vol. VII, No. 4. 



This fern, said by Newberry to be very abundant in the shales over the Newcastle 

 coal at Nanaimo, appears only in a few fragments in the collections submitted to me. 



10. TORREIA DENSIFOLIA, S. N. (Fig. 20, 20 a.) 



Branchlets with crowded leaves, which are al)out 2 centimetres long and 4 millimetres 

 in breadth. ()l)tusely pointed, parallel-sided and decurrent on the brauchlets ; one-veined, 

 thick. In the absence of any knowledge of its fruit, the reference of this very distinct and 

 beautiful plant is of course very uncertain. 



Collected by Mr. J. Richardson, at Protection Island. 



11. Glyptostrobus, S. N. 



Fragments of branchlets resembling G. Eia-o/ue/ts in size and form, but too obscure for 

 certain determination. 



Collected by Dr. Gr. M. Dawson, at Baynes' Island. 



12. Taxodiu.m cuneatum. Newberry, Boston Journal of Natural History, Vol. VIII.. No. 4. 

 Newberry describes this as follows ; Leaves numerous, short, broad-spatulate in form, 



rounded or sub-acute at summit, narrowed into a very short petiole or sessile on the 

 branchlets. 



Collected by Mj.'. J. Richardson, at Nanaimo and Protection Island. 



13. Salisburia Baynesiana, S. N. (Figs. 21 and 21 a.) 



Leaf obliquely cuneate, thick ; nervation dichotomous, obscure. Margin entire at 

 sides, sinuate at apex. LeaA-es of Snlisbun/n, possibly of the same species, though some- 

 what larger, are found at Beaver Harbour, and are associated with oval seeds or nutlets 

 possibly of the same tree. 



Collected by Dr. G-. M. Dawson, at Baynes' Sound and Beaver Harbor.
