[| PENHALLOW] A REPORT ON FOSSIL PLANTS 329 
among these are some which afford a very definite indication of age. 
Inasmuch, however, as locality 471 is somewhat widely separated from 
the others, and as a special question arises in connection with 1428, it 
will be necessary to deal with three sub-groups, 1.e., 471, 1428 and 
localities 1430, 1433, 1436. A consideration of previously described 
floras which may bear some relation to the present, is also essential. 
These are represented by the Crows Nest Coal basin at Michel Station, 
B.C.; the Nordenskiold River in the Yukon territory; the Vancouver 
and Queen Charlotte Islands. Reducing the various floras which may 
be so compared, to a tabular form, it will be found that the specimens 
with which we are at present most directly concerned, establish contact 
with other floras at only nine points, and with respect to only six special 
groups. None of them can be directly correlated with the Cretaceous

at Michel station, the Nordenskiold river, Vancouver or the Queen 
Charlotte Islands. This arises from the fact that in all of these floras 
the species presented are to a very large extent new, so that there is no 
overlapping, and they are in the majority of cases extensions of the 
previously known floras. This is preeminently true of Vancouver 
Island. , 
Myrica serrata has no precise equivalent in any of the groups 
with which comparison has been made. The general distribution of 
the genus has been fairly well represented in the list given by Knowlton 
(37), which shows that out of the fifty-three species, less than half
