Professor Theodore D. A. Cockerell, of Boulder, Colorado, 

 recently transmitted to Dr. Hollick a collection of undescribed 

 fossil plant remains from the Tertiary beds of Florissant in that 

 state, with the request that he examine and describe them. 

 Among them are several beautifully preserved flowers and fruits 

 and a moss with fruiting capsules. The matrix is a fine shale in 

 which the impressions of the outlines and even the delicate 

 tissues of the anthers and petals of one of the flowers are clearly 

 defined. An illustrated description of the moss by Dr. Hollick 

 and Mrs. Britton is now in press for the Bulletin of the Torrey 

 Botanical Club and the other remains are being critically ex- 

 amined and will be figured and described in the near future.
