SALIX MINUTA, new species. 

 Plate IX, fig. 1. 



Leaf small, nearly circular (11 mm. long, 9 mm. wide), slightly heart- 

 shaped at base and very slightly pointed at apex ; margin entire below, 

 with few distant teeth in the upper portion ; nervation very obscure, 

 consisting of 4-5 pairs of secondaries emerging at a low angle (40°), 

 thence curving along the borders. 



This si^ecies is founded u])on the single specimen figured, and it is 

 with much hesitation that it is described as new. The leaf appears to 

 have be«n rather thick and Arm as are some of the living species found 

 in polar lands. 



It is possible that it may not belong to the genus Salix, but as it 

 approaches most closely to some of the forms of 8. polaris Wahlbg.,* 

 from the diluvial deposits of Spitzbergen, I have decided to describe 

 it under this genus, and wait for future discoveries to prove the truth 

 or error of this disposition. As stated above, the nervation is nearly 

 obsolete, and all that can be made out of the 4 or 5 pairs of secondaries. 



The leaf is found associated on the same piece of matrix as speci- 

 mens of Taxodium distichuni mioeetium, Paliurus Golombi, and Zizyphus 

 Toumsendi. 



Sali.r minuta was obtained at Herendeen Bay by Mr. Charles H. 

 Towusend, of the U. S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross. Type, No.
