GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 877 



Carex Berthoudi, sp. nov. 



Leaves narrow, flat, narrowly and obscurely striate, except on the 

 borders ] seeds numerous, flattened, 2 uiill. wide, with an oval, slightjy 

 pointed, and sligiitlytbroader perigyuium. 



The nervation of the leaves is marked only by two veins on each 

 border, as in Cyperus arcticus Heer, Fl. of Spitzberg. The seeds, 

 apparently attached on short pedicels, resemble those of Care.v. antiqua, 

 Heer, of the Baltic flora, as represented PL iii, Fig. IS, being, how^cvier, 

 larger-, and the perigynia broader than the seeds, and distinct. 



Elabellaria zinckeni, Heer, Fl. Bornstaedt, p. 11, PI. ii, Fig. 3-^ 



By the size of the segments, and by their nervation, the numerous 

 and distinctly veined fragments found in the white metamorpbic clay of 

 Golden represent exactly the European species. Tlie Bornstaedt lignitLc 

 foimation is considered by Heer as lowest Miocene or upper Eoceuew 



Elabellaria latania, Stern., (Foss., El., 1, PI. xl.) 



To this species of Sternberg, I refer a number of specimens, all of 

 striated, tubulose, long, linear leaves, like those published under this 

 name by Ettinghausen in Fl. Prom., p. 12, PI. iii. Fig. 2-3. The striae 

 are coarse and deep, as figured by this author, but there is no remaiji 

 of petiole. 



Sabal goldiana, sp. nov. 



Distinct from Sabal Campbellii, Newb, by its large triquetrous or 

 rather deeply keele<l petiole, the keel being nearly acute. The sides at 

 the base are 5 cent. wide. The rays appear larger than in S. Campbellii; 

 the nervation is not more distinct. No specimen of the lower part of a 

 leiif could be obtained. 



Palmacites, species. 



Part of a trunk of palm ; an impression 15 cent, broad, slightly con- 

 cave, marked in the length by deep, nearly regular, and equal stria>, 

 separated by sharp, acute, narrow ridges, 1 mill, distant. This is not 

 referable to any fossil species published. Specific determination, how- 

 e\er, is not possible. 



POPULUS ATTENUA.TA, Al. Br. 



Of the same character as the leaf in Fl. Fert. Helv., PI. Ivii, Fig. 



Q.UERCUS TRIANGULARIS, Gopp., (Schotznitz, Fl., p. 15, PI. A'i, Fig. 



13-17.) 



Leaves ovate, attenuated to a short petiole, more abruptly narrowed 

 to an obtuse point, borders undulate above, entire from the middle 

 downward, nervate or pinnate. 



The stone where the leaves are preserved is coarse grained, the borders 

 near the point are somewhat indistinct. The lowest pair of secondary 

 veins ascends in an acute angle from the base of the leaf, the others, nearly
