We have of this species only the fragmentary specimen figured. The 
leaf is slightly coriaceous, deeply marked by the secondary nerves and 
their nervilles, and has the borders either regularly undulate or cut by 
short teeth entered by the secondary veins, which pass nearly straight 
from the middle nerve at an angle of divergence of 40°. The nervilles 
divided in the middle of the areas by cross veinlets are close, and in 
right angles to the veins. The leaf is, in all its characters, similar to 
Fig. 4 of Pl. VIL, of the Fossil Flora of Alaska, where all the forms 
described by Professor Heer have been found. In his description the 
author recognizes five different varieties of his species, (6) being the one 
to which this leaf is referable.

Fagus pseudo-ferruginea, sp. nov. 
Biel, fg. 14. 
Leaf obovate, lanceolate-pointed, narrowed to the short petiole ; borders undulate ; mid- 
dle nerve thin ; secondary veins craspedodrome, nearly straight in passing obliquely 
to the borders. 
At first I considered this leaf as referable to Fagus Andtipof, var. a, as 
described by Abich; but it presents some marked differences. The mid- 
dle nerve is much narrower; the secondary veins more distant, less distinct, 
dissolved quite near the borders, slightly curved, and also more open. 
The substance of the leaf is not as coarse, rather thin, and the base is 
more acutely cuneate. But for the entire merely undulate borders, this 
leaf should be identified with the living Fagus ferruginea, Ait., of the 
present North American flora. By this character it resembles the Huro-
