Describes specimens of S^henojpteris affinis with circinate vernation 

 and fructification, and with specimens of Staphylopteris attached to it,

 The supra-molassic beds of Theziers consist of the fluvio-marine 

 group of Theziers, lying conformably upon the Miocene marine moUasse, 

 and of the marine and fluviatile group of Yaquieres- Saint- Amand, 

 which seems to lie unconformably upon the last. Prom this second 

 series the authors have obtained a considerable number of plant- 

 remains, of which a descriptive list is given. The new species de- 

 scribed are Arundo u^gyptia antiqua, Alnus stenophylla, Viburnum 

 assimile, V. palceomorphum, Coriaria lanceolata, Celastrus. gardonensis.
