 The Tertiaries of Tyrol, Switzerland, S. France, &c. have yielded 

 S. African genera (termed a " by-element " of the European Tertiary 

 flora), but which have mostly disappeared from Europe. The African 

 element was once widespread, and in Europe arose from differentiation 

 of Cretaceous plants ; during the Pliocene it became crowded out here, 

 but held and flourished at the Cape. Lists of genera peculiar to the 

 recent Cape flora are given ; also of other S. African genera (" by- 

 elements ") which characterize various other parts of the world ; the 

 proportions of these flora-members are set down in tabular form.

 Extract from the ' Denkschriften.' Lists of genera are given, which 

 show the presence in Australia of the E. Indian, Oceanic, American, 

 European, and S. African flora-members respectively ; but these are 

 probably in different stages of development, though palaeontological 

 d^ta to prove it are at present wanting. E. B. T.

A continuation [see Geological Eecoed for 1874, p. 334]. Confined 

 to the Lycopodiaceee. Two species are referred to Lycopodium, viz. 

 L. selaginoides and a new species L. carhonaceum ; the forms belonging to 

 Lepidodeyidron are grouped under two species : Halonia and Bergeria 

 are peculiar states of this genus. Specimens are figured showing the 

 connexion between Haloyiia and LepidopMoios. LomatopTiloios is also 

 merged in this genus. Flabellaria Sternhergi (Ett.) is renamed Lepido- 

 phyllum horridum. Sagenaria is retained, of which Aspidiaria is a 

 form with the scale ; five species are noted, the first being Lepidostro- 

 hus. Knorria also is not of generic rank ; one species is noted. E. B. T.
