The basal portions (about one-half) of two leaves of a Salix were 
found at Richmond, and, although incomplete, they agree so admirably 
with the numerous figures of this species given by Heer as to leave 
little doubt of their specific identity. They indicate a mediumly 
broad lanceolate leaf 3.5 cm. long by 1.3 cm. in greatest width, which 
was toward the somewhat rounded base. 
This species was described originally from Greenland by Heer 
who afterward detected it in material from Spitzbergen, and in the 
Tertiary collection from near the north of the Mackenzie River 
made by Sir John Richardson’s expedition. Lesquereux afterward 
identified it from the Mascall beds of Oregon, basing his determination 
upon material which Dr. Knowlton states (loc. cit.) is very poor and 
doubtful.
