OF THE LARAMIE FORMATION OF CANADA. 29 
VIBURNUM ASPERUM, Newberry. 
This Fort Union Species is quite abundant in the Upper Laramie of Red Deer River. 
Fragments also occur in the Souris River collection and in those from Shaganappi Point, 
where are also fruits which may have belonged to some species of Viburnum. It also 
occurs at Porcupine Creek. 
VIBURNUM CALGARIANUM, Dawson. (Plate II, Fig. 14.) 
Described in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Vol. III, from specimens 
collected at Shaganappi Point. 
VIBURNUM OXYCOCCOIDES, Dawson. (Plate II, Fig. 15.) 
Described as above from specimens collected at Shaganappi Point. Accompanied by 
fruits like those of Viburnum. This species is very near to the modern V. opulus. 
VIBURNUM LANCEOLATUM, Newberry. 
Newberry, loc. cit. 
A leaf from Porcupine Creek seems to represent this Fort Union species. 
CATALPA CRASSIFOLIA, Wewberry. 
Fragments of leaves in the Upper Laramie of Bow River are similar to the above 
species, whose generic relations are doubtful. 
Collected by J. B. Tyrrell. 
SAPINDUS AFFINIS, Newberry. 
Newberry, loc. cit. 
Leaves of this characteristic Fort Union species occur in the Lower Laramie of the 
Bad Lands of Wood Mountain, and also in the Upper Laramie of Great Valley.

ZÆSCULUS ANTIQUA, Dawson. (Plate II, Fig. 16.) 
Report on 49th Parallel, 1875. 
Pericarp 1} inches in length and one inch in breadth; obovate, truncate at the base, 
regularly rounded above with several strong woody spines on the upper half. Seed of 
similar form, but smooth or with a few tortuous impressions. This fruit seems to be an 
Æsculus, but with characters somewhat intermediate between those of the horse-chesnut 
and those of the American buckeye. 
Lower Laramie, Bad Lands, Wood Mountain.

SYMPHOROCARPOPHYLLUM, Gr. N. 
I place under this name certain leaves from the Upper Laramie of Great Valley, which 
at first I had named Hederophyllum, but now find them so near in form, venation and texture 
to the leaves of the common snowberry that I can scarcely doubt their affinity to these. 
On the same slabs there are remains of berry-like fruits, which probably belong to some 
caprifoliaceous plant, and possibly to the species described below.
