Oils detached leaflets, occiirriug embedded in bowldois of carbouate of 

 iron. Lesquereux describes it as follows: 



^' Most of the leaflets are simple, notlobate, obh)ug-, or ovate-lanceolate 

 entire or merely crenulate on the borders by the impressions of the 

 veins. These leaflets are rarely preserved entire; the borders are often 

 lacerated; they vary from 3.5 cm. to (J cm. long and 1 — 2.5 cm. broad. 

 They evidently represent leaflets from Osmunda." 



I have ventured to restore (loppert's name, which until now has 

 been a mere nonien nudum, for it is almost beyond question the plant 

 that he gave the name to.

There are a considerable number of specimens in the collection from 

 Herendeen Bay that are referred with little hesitation to this species. 

 They are seemingly very well preserved, but when examined closely it 

 is found to be diflicult to make out the manner of attachment of the 

 leaves. They much resemble some of the branchlets of Taxodium dis- 

 tichum miocenum with which they are abundantly associated, but by a 

 study of certain exceptionally well-preserved specimens it is found that
