Washakie series, Burrell’s Springs, Oregon, found along with palm-leaves 
(Sabalites and Flabellaria). Lesquereux refers the species to the Lower 
Eocene. In Newberry’s unpublished plates very similar leaves are referred 
to L. Kaulfussi, Heer, a European Tertiary species. Our imperfect speci- 
mens may be referred to either species, if these are really distinct. 
ASPLENITES. sp. 
(Fig. 4.) 
A little fertile pinna from Stanley Park indicates a fern of this 
genus, which may be merely noted in the meantime, until more perfect 
specimens occur. 
GLYPTOSTROBUS Evropaus, Heer. 
A few branchlets referable to this species appear on surfaces of the 
core from Hastings. They appear to belong to the variety known as 
G Ungeri, which is found in the Bad Lands of Dakota and in Alaska, in 
beds probably Eocene. The specimens figured by Lesquereux from Oli- 
gocene beds at Florissant are different, and most likely, as Lesquereux 
himself suggests, belong to a distinct species. (Lesquereux, U.S. Reports, 
vol. viil., p. 222.)

Newberry’s figure, said to represent a species found at Bellingham 
Bay and elsewhere, corresponds with a number of fragments in Mr. 
Monckton’s collections from Burrard Inlet. In the unpublished plates 
for Prof. Knowlton’s revision of Newberry’s plants, the same figure is 
named S. grandifolia, and is stated to be from Yellowstone Valley, 
Fischer’s Peak. Colorado, while another form is figured as S. Campbellii, 
and credited to Bellingham Bay. I hope that more perfect specimens 
from Burrard’s Inlet. and reference to Newberry’s original specimens 
before publication, may clear up this apparent difficulty. 
Our specimens, so far as can be made out, correspond with New- 
berry’s original figure, except that in it the parallel veins are not seen. 
In our specimens there are about twelve veins on each slope of the folds, 
at about six inches from the base of the leaf. 
The species is quite distinct from S. Victoriæ of the Cretaceous coal- 
measures of Nanaimo, which resembles more nearly S. Grayana of Les- 
quereux. Species of Sabal are widely distributed through the early 
Tertiaries of western America, but they are known principally by mere
