New York, deposited in the New York State Museum at Albany. The 

 cicatrices of thi^ leaves are well preserved in the specimen, and present

 plants liom San Juancito, Honduras, brought by Charles M. Kolker, 

 and other specimens sent by T. H. Leggett. In the lirst paper these

An abstract, very brief, is given in the Proceedings of the American 

 Association of a paper read by Professor Newberry (192) on the Cre- 

 taceous Flora of North America. 



Sir William Dawson (64, 68, 71) discusses the characters of the Cre- 

 taceous plants of the western territories of Canada and other parts of 

 British America. 



The Hora of the Laramie group is discussed by L. F. Ward (266), and 

 a short review of the same by Leo Lesquereux (149) is given. Professor 

 Ward (266) describes a considerable number of new species, and illus- 

 trates others which have previously been described. The descriptions 

 were first published in this bulletin (266). The figures, however, with 

 the specific names were issued in connection with the author's paper in 

 the Sixth Annual Keport of the U. S. Geological Survey for 1884 and 

 1885, entitled " Synopsis of the Flora of the Laramie Group," pages 

 399-518, sixty-five plates, as explained in the ''Explanatory Eemarks," 

 pages 9-12 of the bulletin. The following new species are described 

 and beautifully illustrated :
