leathery ; the shape varies from broad to narrow lanceolate. 

 Of the nervation, only the stout straight primary nerve, 

 which narrows gradually towards the top, and the curved 

 secondary nerves, which start at slightly-acute angles, are 

 preserved. The secondary nerves are distant from each other 

 7mm. -12mm. 



I take these fossils to be part -leaflets of Saplndacece, and I 

 ascribe them to Cupanites, where similar part-leaflets occur — 

 for instance, as in C. miocenicus, C. ncptnni, and others. 



CELASTraxEj:. 

 Celastrophyllum australe, sp. nov. 



Plate XXXII., fig. U. 



C. foliis coriaceis pctiolatis, obovatis, basin versus angustatis, 

 apice rotundato-obtnsis, margino serrulatis ; nervatione campto- 

 droma ; nervo primario distincto, basi prominente, recto ; nervis 

 secundariis tenuibus, sub angulis 50^-60^ oricntibus ; nervis 

 tertiariis obsoletis. 



Locality : Grey Eiver, Westland (Canterbury Museum) . 



A leathery, inverted-ovate leaf, which narrows into the 

 petiole. The edge is finely serrate, the nervation is curved, and 

 the fine secondary nei-ves start at shghtly-acute angles. The 

 tertiary nerves are not preserved. I suppose that this leaf 

 belongs to Celastrus, but for the present I enroll it in the col- 

 lective genus Celastrophyllum until better-preserved remains 

 permit of a more exact designation. 



Celastrophyllum crenatum, Heer, from the Patoot strata 

 of the Chalk flora of Greenland, seems to be an analogous 

 species. 



Papilioxace^. 



Dalbergiophyllum rivulare, sp. nov. 

 Plate XXIX., fig. 4. 



D. foliolis coriaceis ovatis, incsqnilateris, apicc acuminatis, 

 margine integerrimis ; nervatione camptodroma, nervo primario 

 basi prominente, apicem versus attenuato, cxcurrente ; nervis 

 secundariis paucis, sub angulis acutis variis cgredientibns, 

 curvatis adscendentibus ; nervis tertiariis obsoletis. 



Locality : Grey Eiver, Westland (Canterbmy Museum). 



A part-leaflet of leathery texture which, according to shape 

 and nervation, may be best em-olled with the Papilionacece, 

 and especially with the Dalbcrgice. The comparison of these 

 with leaflets of the division named leads to the genera -lufZm^, 

 Trioptolemaa, Pterocarpus, Hecastophyllum , and Machceriiim. 

 A closer limitation of the analogues is only possible when
