2\. rnPITLtTS LONOIOR, S. N. 



riau of venation similar to the last, l)ut veins at a si ill more acute angle and the 

 form of the leaf narrower and with entire margin. 



Collected by J. Richardson, at Harwood collierv, Nanaimo ; by Dr. G. M. Dawson, at 

 Baynes' Sound. 



2-2. PopuLUS, Sp. 



This is a very large poplar leaf which must have been foiir inches in l)readih. It has 

 a venation similar to that of P. gnuiilidniliilii. but the teeth of the margin much smaller. 

 The specimens are in fragments. 



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



It should be noted that, in accordance with the numerous poplar leaves found in 

 these beds, wood, having the structure of modern poplar, is by no means uncommon in 

 the same formations. 



23. Betul.-v per-^xtiqua, S. N. (Fig. 2*7). 



Ovate, elongate, veins at angle of about 50\ with midrib slightly curved and begin- 

 ning to fork toward margin, wliich is entire, or with only very shallow teeth. Leaf, acute 

 at apex ; less acute at base. Length of ordiiicuy specimens, 5. .5 centimetres. Breadth, 0.2 

 centimetre. Six veins on each side. 



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



24. QuERCUS ViCTORivE, S. N. (Fig. 28). 



Leaf, large, probably 4 to 5 inches long ; broadly lanceolate, slightly toothed at mar- 

 gin. Veins nearly straight, at angle of 45", and about 0.*7 centimetre apart . Approaches 

 somewhat to Q. nu/llinen'is of Lesquereux, but differs in angle of vtmalion. 



Collected by Mr. .1. Richardson, at Newcastle Island, Nanaimo River and Frotection 

 Island. 



25. Ulmus dubia, S. N. (Fig. 29). 



A fragment of a leaf with the venat ion of Ubn/is. Veins nearly opposite, at angle of 

 about 40" ; curved and forking toward margin, which has distant te(ith. Vein lets coarsely 

 reticulated, with a tendency to transverse arraugemtiut. A few imperfect interstitial 

 veins. Leaf curved, and apparently dry and harsh. Breadth, 2.(» centimetres, apparently 

 somewhat oblique at base. 



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



26. Sassafras, Sp. (Fig. 30, 30 a). 



A small cuneate leaf, apparently trilobed at summit, and with three slender veins,
