PALEOBOTANICAL NOTES.—BRABENEC'? records thirteen species of plants 
from a new locality, Holedeé, in the Saaz basin of northern Bohemia, describing 
new species in Carya, Acacia, Paliurus, and Porana.—BrErry™ describes addi- 
tional material from the Cretaceous near Cliffwood, N. J., consisting of rather 
fragmentary remains of nine additions to that flora, making the total number of 
known forms ninety-five —The same author describes*s a new palm, represented 
by abundant but fragmentary remains of leaves, from the mid-Cretaceous of the 
coastal plain in Delaware and Maryland.—In notes on Tertiary plants PEN- 
HALLOW’® describes wood of Taxodium and Thuja from the basal Eocene of 
Alberta, and of Cupressoxylon from the Cretaceous of Assiniboia. Wood of Pseu- 
dotsuga Douglasii is identified from near Bozeman, Montana, and the charac- 
teristic Pleistocene Larix americana (Larix laricina) is identified from Georgia. 
The latter find is most interesting, showing as it does that the larch had pushed 
about 480 miles farther south than its present southern limit during the Scar- 
borough period of the Glacial. leat of Pinus rigida is recorded from the 
Pleistocene of New York; and Juniperus californica and Pseudotsuga macrocarpa 
are recorded from the Seiad a at Orleans, Humboldt county, California. 
The paper concludes with an enumeration of a number of species, based on leaves 
and wood, from the well-known Don River Pleistocene of Canada.—WaiTE”’ has 
a paper on “Fossil plants of the group Cycadofilices,” in which the chief points 
of interest in this most interesting group are enumerated. He concludes, with 
WILLIAMSON, that secondary wood originated, polyphyletically and polychron- 
ously, as an engineering feature. It is suggested that the heterosporous filicean 
ancestors of the group Pteridospermae will be found in the lowest Carboniferous 
if not in the Upper Devonian. Should the author’s Kalymma grandis prove ”
