areoles; nervilies deep, close, parallel, cut by branches at right angles, forming 
a square distinct areolation. 4 specimens. 
56. Ficus asarifolia, Ett. 1 specimen. 
57. Ficus Andrei, sp. nov. Leaves subcoriaceous, long petioled, elliptical- 
oblong, slightly emarginate at the rounded base, lanceolate above, crenulate on 
th eborders ; palmately five-nerved ; lower lateral nerves with fewer branches 
following the borders, the inner ascending the borders, near the apex some- 
what incurved, much branched outside, camptodrome ; secondaries three pairs, 
at a great distance from the base; nervilles strong, at right angles to the 
nerves. 
The leaf resembles in shape and size some of those of Populus Richardsoni, 
Heer. It differs essentially by a strongly fibrillose nervation, the narrowly 
oval oblong shape, not enlarged, but subcordate at base. The leaf broken at 
apex is 8 cm. long, 5 broad in the middle. The preserved part of the petiole 
is2cm.long. 4 specimens. 
58. Ficus auriculata, Lx. 8 specimens. 
59. Ficus subtruncata, Lx. 4 specimens. 
60. Ficus spectabilis, Lx. 7 specimens. 
1. Ficus occidentalis, Lx. 5 specimens. 
62. Ficus irreqularis, Lx. 2 specimens. 
63. Ficus protogea? H. A fruit. 2 specimens. 
64, Ficus, species undeterminable. 4 specimens. 
65. Protoficus Zeilleri, sp. nov. Leaves of medium size, coriaceous, rugose on 
the surface, enlarged and round-cordate at base, deltoid at the acute apex, pal- 
mately three- or five-nerved from the top of the petiole; lateral nerves much 
branched; borders crenulate. The leaves, deeply rugose by the impression of 
strong nervilles, are 6 to 7 cm. long,5 to 54 cm. broad below the middle; pri- 
mary nerves 3 or more, generally 5, the lower at a broad angle of divergence, 
following the borders, the inner ascending in a curve somewhat: inclined to 
the midrib; secondaries two or three pairs at a great distance from the base. 
The borders, mostly destroyed, are seen crenulate, at the few places where they 
are preserved. 5 specimens.

66. Laurus socialis, Lx. 6 specimens. 
67. Laurus primigenia, Ung. 4 specimens. 
68. Laurus Smidtiana, Heer, Fl. Shakal, p. 51, Plate XV. fig. 8. Leaves 
petiolate, coriaceous, obovate, very entire; secondaries camptodrome, dissolved 
in the reticulation. The fragments which I refer to this species are not quite 
satisfactory for positive determination, though the outlines of the leaves, their 
size and nervation, fully agree with the description and figures of the author. 
The areolation is peculiar, composed of thin close nervilles, crossing the areas 
at right angles to the midrib, or obliquely to the lateral nerves, as in some 
species of Pyrus. But one of the leaves preserved nearly entire has the base
