   regard 
  to 
  fig.

  It

  has

  Ivcaf 
  lanceolate, 
  entire, 
  sli^^htly 
  inequilateral, 
  narrowed 
  and 
  decurrent 
  for 
  

   a 
  short 
  distance 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  midrib 
  strong 
  ; 
  secondaries 
  thin 
  and 
  regular, 
  

   leaving 
  the 
  midrib 
  at 
  an 
  acute 
  angle 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  at 
  a 
  slightly 
  more 
  

   obtuse 
  angle 
  upward, 
  tunning 
  parallel 
  to 
  each 
  other 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  distance, 
  

   and 
  approaching 
  each 
  other 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  margin, 
  where 
  they 
  curve 
  upward; 
  

   tertiary 
  nervation 
  straight, 
  sub-parallel 
  and 
  essentially 
  at 
  right 
  angles 
  to 
  

   the 
  secondaries. 
  

  

  This 
  leaf 
  might 
  be 
  provisionally 
  referred 
  to 
  several 
  described 
  

   species 
  under 
  the 
  genera 
  Fiais 
  and 
  Latiriis, 
  but 
  some 
  slight 
  dif- 
  

   ference 
  in 
  each 
  instance 
  has 
  led 
  me 
  to 
  think 
  that 
  it 
  represents 
  a 
  

   new 
  species. 
  Interesting 
  comparisons 
  may 
  however 
  be 
  made 
  

   with 
  Ficus 
  lanceolata 
  (Heer), 
  Web., 
  as 
  figured 
  by 
  Lesquereux

  Note. 
  — 
  After 
  page 
  proof 
  of 
  this 
  report 
  had 
  been 
  setup 
  1113' 
  attention 
  was 
  

   called 
  to 
  a 
  paper 
  by 
  Professor 
  H. 
  Engelhardt, 
  entitled 
  " 
  Ueber 
  Tertiarpflan- 
  

   zen 
  von 
  Chile," 
  (Abh, 
  Senckenb. 
  Naturf. 
  Gesellsch. 
  vol. 
  16 
  (1891), 
  pp. 
  

   629-692, 
  pis. 
  1-14) 
  in 
  which 
  are 
  described 
  and 
  figured 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  

   identical 
  with 
  ours 
  but 
  under 
  different 
  names. 
  Of 
  special 
  interest 
  is 
  his 
  

   Goeppertia 
  speclabilis, 
  which 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  identical 
  with 
  my 
  Cryptocarya 
  

   eolignitica, 
  in 
  which 
  case 
  Engelhardt's 
  name 
  has 
  precedence.
