pi. ii, fig. 2; iii, fig. 4; iv, figs. 8, 9, being merely a little smaller and more 

 enlarged below the middle, with the surface vesicular-dotted. The differ- 

 ence in the characters is not important. This leaf still more distinctly 

 resembles the living Myrtus communis, Linn.

Plate LVII, Fig. 4. 



Leaf ocklpiumite; leaflets uearly sessile, broadly obovate, obtuse or subeiiiargiu- 

 ate at tlie apex, cuueate at the base, very entire ; lateral nerves oblique, camptodronie. 



The fragment may represent the terminal and one lateral leaflet of 

 some odd-pinnate leaves like those of Colnfea, or part of trifoliate ones 

 like those of Q/tisus. The leaflets in this last genus are rarely as broad 

 as those of the fragments, which are 18 millimeters in width and a little 

 longer. The terminal leaflet is short-pedicellate, the lateral appear 

 sessile; its base is destroyed. They are much like leaflets of Colufea 

 Salteri, Heer, "Fl. Tert. Helv.," p. 101, pi. cxxxii, figs. 45-47, which have 

 the same form and nervation, being only a little smaller.
