404 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 



Platanus nobilis, Xewb. 

 Eepresented by a large iminber of fiagineuts. 



JUGLANS RUGOSA, Lsqx. 



Only an obscure specimen. 



Carpolithes osseus, sp. nov. 



Frnit hard, coverofl with a tliin, bony shell, compressed, oval, round, 

 obtuse at one end, obtusely pointed {'I) at the other. 



The point is half destroyed. This fruit is G cent, long, 3 cent, wide in 

 the middle, irregularly narrowly striate in the length antl rugose on the 

 surface. It has the form of a large nut, like those of some species of 

 Astrocaryum of the Palms. It is slightly flattened, ax)parently by com- 

 j)ression. 



Six miles above Spring Canon, near Fort Ellis. 



I have to place in a single division a number of specimens marked 

 with three kinds of labels, for the reason that they represent some iden- 

 tical species from the different localises, and appear, tberefore, as from 

 the same horizon. These labels are : " Near Fort Ellis, above coal ; A. 

 C. Peale, Jos. Savage." "Above Spring Canon, near Fort Ellis ; Jos. 

 Savage, W. H. Holmes.'' "Six miles above Spring Canon ; A. C. Peale, 

 Jos. Savage." All the specimens are of a very hard, metamorphic 

 shale, breaking across the plane of stratification, therefore, mere frag- 

 ments, rarely representing an entire leaf. Tlie localities are indicated 

 for the new or interesting species of this section. 



Gymnogramma Haydenii, Lsqx., Eept., (1S71,) p. 205. 



Two specimens of this species, from above Spring CaQou. 



Abietites dubius, Lsqx. 



Described formerly with specimens from the Paton Mountains. The 

 specimens are from near Fort Ellis, above coal, and above Spring Canon. 



Abies setigera, sp. oior. 



Leaves distant, simple, very narrow, needle form, in right angle 

 around and from the branches. 



These very narrow filiform leaves are IS mill, long, less than one mill, 

 wide, linear sharp pointed, abruptly enlarged at the base in the point 

 of attachment to the branches, from which they diverge all around in 

 right angle. The leaves are nerved, channeled on one side, keeled at 

 the other. It has no relation to any fossil or living species known as 

 yet. 



Saltsburia polymorpiia, Lsqx., Meut. Jour. Science and Arts, (1859,) 



p. 302. 



Leaf fan-like in outline, tapering or wedge form to the base, divided 

 upward in lobes of various forms, either linear oblong obtuse or lance- 

 olate, short or deeply parted.
