ON THE TERTIARY FLORA OF THE NORTH OF IRELAND. 153 



tened state 20 inches across : its diameter would probably have been 

 about six feet in an uncompressed state. These large woody trunks were 

 found lying at various angles in the aluminous earth. The character of 

 this wood still remains to be determined. 



Branches of a cypress, and pine cones, with grasses and reed-like 

 plants, are not unfrequent in these deposits. 



Leaves and seeds or fruit of Dicotyledonous trees are most frequent. 

 We have been enabled to identify several of these with fossil plants 

 from the island of Mull, GEningen, and North Greenland. 



A list of all the species named and identified to the present time is 

 appended to this report ; and as there are others we have, for want of 

 sufficient material, only been able to name generically, it may be thought 

 desirable to continue this investigation, which has added so largely to our 

 hitherto meagre Miocene Flora of the British Islands.
