 A coniferous fossil wood occurring in JST. German Drift, silicified so 

 that the silica has filled the interior of the tissue only, while the cell- 

 walls are not preserved. It has been probably derived from Miocene 

 beds and redeposited ; for a silicified tree-trunk in similar condition 

 was found in a lignite-formation at Malliss, in Mecklenburg. E. B. T.

Gives a complete description of fossil plants from the Hhaetic forma- 

 tion at Palsjo, Scania. 26 species are described and figured, of which 

 ] 2 are new (see Index of Species). Compared with foreign localities 

 for Rhaetic plants, Palsjo is one of the richest ; and the plants are very 

 well preserved. The most common species are Nilssonia polymorpha., 

 Dictyophyllum Nilssoni, and D. Muensteri. In relation to the Bhsetic 

 floras in Pranconia, the Palsjo flora is situated between that at Theta 

 and the other Pranconian localities. E. E.

 An account of plants found at the coal-mine of Bjuf, in Scania. Of 

 15 species the following occur in foreign localities also : — Tceniopteris 

 tenuinervis, Braun ; Otozamites ? Blasii^ Braun ; Asplenites Ottonis^ Gp. ; 

 Nilssonia acuminata, Gp. ; and Pteropliylluni acuminatum, Morris. 

 The fossils are Phgetic, but the beds are a little older than those at
