6 NATHORST. FOSSIL PLANTS OF FRANZ JOSEF LAND. 



Cape Richthofen are probably not Tertiary I have previously pointed out to 

 Mr. Newton, who quotes my opinion in the later article. 



The plant-bearing strata of Franz Josef Land, which are as yet known 

 to us, all belong, in consequence with the exception of those from Cook's 

 Rock and Cape Stephen, the age of which is still uncertain to the Upper 

 Jurassic, or the transition beds to the Cretaceous, while as yet, no Tertiary 

 strata have been discovered.
