of these loops enter the teeth in the npper part; iiervilles mostly percii- 

 rent, at right angles to the seeoudaries; finer nervation obsolete. 



This species is represented by two flue leaflets, the one figured being 

 in some respects the more perfect. They appear to have been membra- 

 naceous or possibly a little firmer. They are almost regularly elliptical 

 in outline with a few distinct teeth above the middle. As both lack 

 the complete base it is im^wssible to state anything as to the petiole or 

 manner of attachment. They are very slightly if at all inequilateral at 

 the base. 



This species is undoubtedly closely related to Fraxinus denticnJat(\ 

 Heer,* from the Miocene of Greenland. Heer's species differ from this, 

 however, in being clearly wedge-shaped at base, in having the margin 

 toothed from near the base, and in having the secondaries usually oppo- 

 site and at a more acute angle of divergence. It is possible that if there 

 were a larger number of specimens of the species from Herendeen Bay 

 they might be shown to grade more closely into F. denticidafa, but in 

 absence of these I have preferred to keep them separate. 



Among living species the form under discussion approaches closely 

 to some leaflets of -F. Ornus, L., especially the terminal ones. It is also 

 somewhat like some of the broader leaflets of F. excelsior, L., from north- 

 ern Europe.
