Collected bv Mr. J. Tvichard.son. at ITarwood Colliery. Nanaimo 



28. DiospYRos Vancouverensis. S. N. (Fig. 32). 



Oval, pointed at base, obtusi* and oblique at apex. Maruin. entire or slishtly undulate. 



Midrib and veins stronuly marked ; aniile of diveru-ence of veins from midril), al)ut GO'. 



Voius curved strongly and uniting at the niaruin. Veinlels transverse, straight, giving a 



coarse rectangular reticulation. Len<ith. about o.') centimetres; breadth. 3 centimetres. 



Collected bv Mr. .T. Tiichardson. at Xanaimo, 



29. Ceanothus cretaceus, S. N. (Fig. 33). 



Ecffularly elliptical, with three princijial veins, the lateral ones curving regularly from 

 base to apex. Margin, crenulate. Minor venation, obsci\re. Lenu-th, ;> centimetres; 

 breadth in middle, 2.1). Distance of lateral veins from midrib in middle, 0,8 centimetre. 

 The modern C. Ainerint/iiis has vcrv similar leaves, butbroadei in proportion. C. oru/ix has 

 narrower leaves. This ancient leaf is thus between the two. This leaf miuht be included 

 in the genus Ci/untinomiini, as defined by fossil botanists ; bixt I cannot distinguish it from 

 the foliage of the modern genus Cennolliux, still living in the west. 



Collected l)y Dr. G. M. Dawson, at Baynes' Sound.
